Micro-Activity #5

The first thing that that comes to my mind when i think of education is levels. When we fist start school we are taught the basics reading writing math etc… i consider this level one. Level two is what i believe to be improving that of which we were taught in level one.  Level three i believe is the most important. In this level we choose one or more topics we studied in level two and base a career around it.  I consider level three to be college. At this point we should know the more than the basics and want to improve what interests us. One thing that bothers me about education is that we are not educated in schools about very important aspects of life one of which are how to do our taxes. Also most k-12 education focuses more on current times and history when i believe the future should be incorporated in the education system. We have studied the past and present now we should study how we can improve our future. This is not only the case in the education system but also in the teachers. Most teacher just do what their told and don’t really care about the students and just want us to graduate. There are few who care and prepare students for a better future with skills they believe that living a good life in the future requires. From 10th to 12 grade I had and engineering teacher who taught us skills that would prepare us for the future. He genuinely cared about us and treated us like adults. He was strict and told us to treat his class like it was a job. This shaped us to be better at engineering and a hard working person, preparing us for the real world.
