What Really Is Education?
Have
you ever been asked what really education is before?
May be it was from your son or from your daughter, or you may have asked that question yourself due to mere curiosity.
May be it was from your son or from your daughter, or you may have asked that question yourself due to mere curiosity.
Whatever
the case may be, it is necessary and equally important to know what really
education is and it impact on us.
The
word “educate” comes from the Latin word, “ducere” meaning to draw out
or lead.
So education simply means to draw out or lead people to their
potentials or gifts in life.
What this means to me is that, a person (student), need to find out his/her gifts and then look for someone (teacher) who can draw that gifts out so to help him or her become a better person.
In other words, an educator (teacher) must and should be able to find out a person's (student) gifts/potentials and draws out from them so to make them a better person.

In most cases, you can identify a person's gifts by knowing their specific learning style.
You can learn more about how to identify your child's learning style from here:
So education is not really about “PUTTING IN” as some may think rather it is about drawing out or leading a person to his or her potentials.
It is the act of
helping people to learn how to do things and encouraging them to think about
what they learn. It is also the means of teaching people how to find and use information
to solve their problems.
Through education, the
knowledge and skills of family society, country,
and of the world can be passed on from generation to generation.
With education, we can have the power and capability to be
whoever and do whatever we desire. With education, we can all become special and agents of change.
Education is what helps us to improve what we consider
appropriate, changes what bothers us and build upon past accomplishments. And
we do all these things with one purpose: Leave a World better than the one we
found.
With the development of
society; education has taken many shapes, such as child education, adult
education, technical education, health education, physical education and so on.
However in general terms education can be classified into three main categories.

How To Get A Good Private Tutor For Homeschooling
Most homeschool families teach their children from home until certain conditions are met.
Some parents stop once they believe they are no longer qualified to teach. Others, on the other hand, may enroll the kids in the public education and still employ a private tutor at home, others wait until they believe their children have matured enough to handle the social pressure, influences, and other adverse effects of public education and the ‘outside’ world.
Furthermore, other families leave the decision up to their children.

Sometimes extremely independent students and self-learners ask their parents to pull them from public schools so they can create a more independent schedule. Whichever case, as a parent, you must think carefully about the kind of education you want to be providing your child.

The Untold Story Of A Mother Who Raised The Inventor Of The Light Bulb
One day,
as a small child, Thomas Edison came home from school and gave a paper to his
mother.
He said to her, “Mom, my teacher gave this paper to me and told me only you are to read it. What does it say?”
Her eyes welled with tears as she read the letter out loud to her child…
“Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn't have good enough teachers to train him. Please teach him yourself.”
Many years after Edison’s mother had died, he became one of the greatest inventors of the century
Now for the mind blowing part...
One day he was going through a closet and he found the folded letter that his old teacher wrote his mother that day.
He opened it…
The actual message written on the letter was:
“Your son is Mentally Deficient. We cannot let him attend our school anymore. He is Expelled.”
Waves of emotion washed over him and tears rolled down his cheek as he read the letter to himself. That very day, he wrote down in his diary...
