Dan Brown on Education

Dan Brown states that education is essential. He starts with the history of education and who had and who didn't. That the upper class has always had it and the poor do not. Which to me is similar to days society. The upper class and middle class have access to everything educational and at times, the poor do not. He says that education is now free, that textbooks are not as needed as in previous times and that the old way of learning is obsolete, so to speak.

I do agree that education is essential and that information is free. I also believe that along the line of a persons education there has to be someone to lead a student into the education process. That is where a teacher will come in and stay in. We can always find information on our own but once we have it, will we know the proper way to deal with it. If there is even a proper way. Teachers, in my opinion, are also essential and always will be.

  1. Hey Pam, the two of us has finished at least one bachelor degree and we both have probably had the situation like Dan Brown had during his short time in the classroom. The large sum of money to textbooks, and class sizes being so large that we get lost in the sea of people. Education is essential and Universities need to accommodate to our needs. Go Teachers.

  2. I agree with you completely. I think teachers will always be needed, but I do think that some requirements for degrees need to be changed. Learning on your own is good, but how will you know for certain that you're doing it properly.
