Education Paper

Education is the most important in a person’s life. Learning is involved in almost every activity. Education is extremely important to children because they will gain experience that helps them succeed and also help the person know how to think, make the right decisions and help decide right from wrong. School isn’t the only place where people learn and gain experience in life, parents also have a big influence on their child’s education.
Parents play a big role in education because they make their children go to school and do their homework to succeed in school and learn. Sometimes when a child doesn’t have parents that push them to succeed their education will be badly effected. Having parents encourage their child to have fun and try new things is important because they will learn new ideas and concepts of life without even realizing it. Children will use this education later on in life for professions and making big life decisions. Learning is most important in the early stages of life. Parents can help their child read, speak and write before they enter school. Once the child has finished high school they have the ability to make their own decisions on where they want to go school and what kind of job they look to pursue. In the movie The Dead Poet’s Society Neil didn’t have the freedom to make his own decisions, his father believed that he knew what was right for his son and it didn’t matter if he wanted to do that or not.
Friends and family can influence education because you may try things that you wouldn’t try by yourself and you may miss out on activities and learning you may never experience in your life. In The Dead Poet’s Society they learn about secret group the Mr. Keating used to enjoy so Neil tries to revive the group by getting people that were in his class to come with him, people were hesitant at first but everyone decided give it a chance after a few people agreed to join.
Teachers also play a big role in education because if they keep the class fun and exciting it will keep the class interested and willing to learn. Some teachers just go by plan the class will just lose focus. In the Dead Poet’s Society Mr. Keating kept the class interesting by doing things that an average teacher would never do. Mr. Keating stood on his desk and described that you should view things in a different way to truly understand them.
Education is important because starts early and prepares you for life. You learn and gain experience everyday and in everything you do, the people you are around may be the biggest influence in your life early on but as you grow your education should have prepared you to make your own life decision
