The purpose of education is to create a brighter future.

Education is a necessity in creating

well-functioning members of society. Each generation takes a turn teaching the other. A

generation's perspective was taught to them by the generation before them, and they will teach it

to the next. Thus, creating a cycle of growth. Without education, the younger generation will

make mistakes that someone could have taught them otherwise.

The role of the teacher is to be a leader to the students. The teacher needs to give these

students the motivation to learn. Teachers cannot force the students to learn, but the teacher can

inspire them. The teacher will do this by having a high but reasonable expectation. Also, giving

students positive feedback. Teachers should also be knowledgeable about their subject. A deep

understanding of the subject allows the teacher to simplify content. This would help with student

comprehension. Teachers also need to be students, continually learning. My motto is, "if you are

not getting better, you are getting worse." While that motto is not positive encouragement to

students, it sure gives me drive. Finally, the teacher needs to work cooperatively with the parents

because they both have influential roles in student life.

The student's role is an active participant in the classroom. They need to ask questions, have

intellectual discuss amongst peers, and challenge themselves. They to work hard and have a

hunger for success. They also need to be adaptable. They need to adapt to the ever-growing

challenging levels of education and teachers teaching styles. Finally, the student needs to follow

the rules and procedures the teacher has set in place, as it benefits student achievement.

The role of the Parent/community is to support the student, while cooperatively working with

the teacher. The parents to motive the student to be an avid learner. They need to lay the

foundation for the student's morals and work ethic. The community needs to support the school

financially. The community should be able to supply the students with tools they will need to
enhance their learning processes, like computers and tablets. The community needs to support

events. Host tailgates before games, to boost morale. Create fundraisers to support the school.

Finally, host tutoring events for specific subjects, SATs, and ACTs. The community needs to

support those less fortunate with essential tools or even transportation. The community needs to

be an actual "Community." Not just the general area someone lives in, but a place with friendly

familiar people, that everyone can look towards for support.
