Education functions as a key mechanism which glues children together and helps them by giving them a value consensus through the “hidden curriculum”. Parsons describes education as a bridge between the families and adult roles of society. Although functionalists think that socialization is important, they also think that it’s not the only purpose of education. Education also teaches the right skills needed for work and sorts people for appropriate jobs. Functionalists think that education gives students an equal chance to get the qualifications for their future jobs and if they rather choose to mess about, the only person to blame for their failure is themselves.
They believed they had a responsibility to improve themselves, to be the best they could be, to improve their abilities, and to help thy neighbors. I am quite sure that includes class and homework. These principles not only swayed our educational system, but are often imitated in U.S. foreign policy. I was told that education is simply the soul of a society
In society many would think that teaching financial literacy in high school is not a good idea because the students already have many things to worry about. They think that teaching financial literacy would just add on to the load. They also assume that financial literacy skills are just common sense. Whereas some people also believe that teaching financial literacy is an excellent idea because it will help the students manage their future finances well. It will help them understand the basics of financial planning as it is not common sense.
"Reliable or not ?" Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Indeed education is the most important aspect of life these days. In this modern world of competing countries where every country strives to be on the top, America has been going downhill in Education. Education is what allows you to make the correct decisions in life and hence allows you to make a positive contribution to society as Nelson stated.
An obvious strength would be that education greatly helps society to come together and teaches the important life skills that are needed in order ro build up society. There were also a number of criticisms to Durkheim's theory. Hargreave's greatly criticised Durkheim by saying that there was too much stress on the developing individual rather than on the duties and responsibilities of the individual. The study also does not look at why individuals do not achieve within education A second functionalist perspective is Parson's, 1961. Parson's stated that education acts as a bridge between family and wider society.

Even though advertisements try to influence people’s decisions, it is up to the people as consumers to make moral
I believe he can be the leader this nation needs right now. With the stress our candidates go through just during election time it’s a miracle they accomplish anything in office. I truly feel privileged in being able to select the leader for this nation. I know that Josh will live up to not only my expectations, but also to the expectations of The United States of America. It is time for radical change in this country.
An educational facility that is given adequate resources has a much better chance of pushing the boundaries of education and developing new and effective methods of learning. Currently, many teachers are required to pull money out of their own pocket just to acquire the materials needed for their class to finish the curriculum. These teachers are being barred from a right to think freely about how their students think because of budgeting. The only way to improve education standards in the U.S. is to show the proper respect to it, both socially and out of our
They necessitate dissimilar skills and teaching methods. Another solution is to construct reading activities so that there is a before, during and after stages of reading knowledge. Expository text comprises the greater part of what we read which includes essays, directions, documents, journals, magazine and newspaper articles, and other things. Students need to familiarize themselves with how these texts work and what to do when they start reading these types of texts. Chris Street wrote an original research article, “Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned”, and tells us that middle school students face difficulty reading expository texts because they were not taught how to read in this fashion while in elementary school.
