Education



Education

S- Education Reformation/Philosophy

O- American Scholar, 1800s

A-Readers of the magazine/educators/parents

P- to persuade/to educate

S- Ralph Waldo Emerson

T- philosophical/confident/professional/ considerate

The point of this essay was to show parents and teachers that there is a better way of teaching students. The way he refers to is by patience and by the “naturel” method. This method basically states that one should let their child/student do things naturally; they should let them think and act freely as long as it does not exceed the behavioral limits that are set on them. By using this method, it is also allowing the student, as long as the rest of the class, to think with a more open mind and choose their own path in life or education. It is also teaching the parents/educators to be more patient, which can become useful to everybody.

This essay would not be effective if it were to be presented to the wrong crowd; in this case, the audience is the readers of the magazine, but it is mostly effective to educators and parents.  If educators and parents were to follow Ralph Waldo Emerson’s theories, a completely new and improved education system could be formed, which can be experimented with and eventually used. If this method were to be enforced throughout schools, it would not only make teachers more patient, but also much more understanding. One issue with the “naturel” method is the fact that students might try to take advantage of the freedom given to them, but that can be changed over time.

This essay is very effective to the audience and is able to reach its purpose of persuading and educating.

  2. I also wrote about "Education" and I completely agree with Emerson's idea of how students should be taught in school. You did a wonderful job with elaborating on Emerson's "natural method", but I think you could have written more about it. Then again I could say that your blog was summarized and to the point instead of the extensive lines of repetition. Students should naturally find themselves in school and work to earn high grades. Keep up the excellent effort Talar!
