What can education bring us? Is “high mark” the real destiny of education?
As researchers and scholars are investigating this subject, the accurate
definition of education begins to have slight difference from what was in
people‘s mind before. Education, the bridge between teachers and students, the
mediator between individual and society, means more than knowledge transmit, but
being a wholly developed person in the society.
First,education brings us basic knowledge and skill to survive. From
primary school on, students learn subjects like Maths, Physics, English, or in
other words, academic subjects to gain the initial knowledge of the nature and
world, which are extremely useful for our future career. Upon this, students
also learn skills like sewing, cooking, and mending bicycles, which help them a
lot in their future family life. To this extend, education provided us with
fundamental concepts of living.
Second,education can cultivate our sentiment. Apart from academic subjects,
art subjects such as music and art seems more interesting toward students. From
these subjects, one can enjoy the pleasure of listening to music, try to guess a
composer‘s emotion when writing a music chapter, or understand the meaning of a
piece of drawing, from which process they themselves are edified and
assimilated, and finally have their own clear opinion on what is beauty.
Third,education makes an individual adapted to the society. Being innocent
and naive, young people always find it hard to immerge into the complicated
environment, and feel frustrated. Through education like communication skills,
students may know the essence of getting on with other people. This kind of
education influences our personality and views everyone as a whole individual in
the big family of society.
Above all,knowledge,emotion,and personality form the most important part of
the content of education. The aim of education is to teach a per son become a
completely developed individual.
