Purpose and Structure of SchoolsThesis StatementThe future of education has been enormously influenced by the wisdom of the past, the structure of the present, and the sense of what will happen in the future.IntroductionThe future of education has been enormously influenced by the wisdom of the past, the structure of the present, and the sense of what will happen in the future. Education is an important factor in the growth of students and teachers. Education has changed over the years, while the past, present and future of education itself are steadily evolving. In the past, education has acquired many educational theories. One educational theory I would like to focus on is progressivism and how it has shaped education. In the past, many philosophers have supported and guided the educational world. These philosophers shaped the structure of education. Exploring the history of education is fascinating. History really developed what education has become. Schools today are made up of three central aspects: classroom structure, curriculum and standards, and educational trends. Today, education focuses on what children should learn, the environment in which this happens, who teaches them what and how. As a new teacher, it is essential to create our own vision of what the purpose and structure of schools should be. PAST In the past, education was clear, precise and dry. I'm sure everyone has heard a story from their parents or grandparents: “In my day, I would walk 5 miles in the snow, rain, or heat to get to school. » that rings bells! The past only lays the foundation for what education is today.
