Teach.

Some days I can say yes, others I can say no. However, at the end of it all it was absolutely worth it. Why? Education is extremely important to me and it's going to be a part of my everyday life for the rest of my life. So even on the bad days, I should always look forward to learning something new or being able to teach someone else something new. It's a great feeling.

Since the beginning of my undergraduate career, I knew that I was going to Graduate School for Communication Arts and get my Master's and Doctorate as a continuation of my undergraduate experience in Comm. Arts. However, last year I felt that I wanted to change that path to Education; either way I wanted to educate others in some way, shape or form. BUT now, I feel myself drifting back to my original plan and sticking Communication Arts and teaching at the college level sooner or later. I think I wanted to change my mind because I second-guessed myself and ability to find a position at a university/college as a Comm. Arts professor...why? I have no clue, I think I became nervous about my future but now I feel more confident and now i have a choice to make but I feel good about either path I choose.

Article focuses on the curriculum standards in the United States compared to other countries such as Finland, Japan, Singapore and South Korea.  According to the article, the United States has not developed a curriculum that will properly prepare students for various areas of life. In some cases, this may be true because most curriculums are based on standardized testing and not on the full educational and social illumination that students need through the course of their lives in primary and secondary education levels. According to American Educator, “a curriculum sets forth that body of knowledge and skill our children need to grow into economically and socially responsible citizens.” A stable curriculum gives teachers room to cater to the interests of their students.
