Why Do I Need A Formal Education?

An education is an absolute Must for survival.  Although an informal education will be the first teachings encountered, a formal educatuion in most cases will prove to be more beneficial. The formal education will teach a person how to read, write, add, multiply, solve problems, be creative and think broader.

It should be noted that everyone can learn and is teachable. However, the key is to identify how the learner is able to understand and interpret the information. FOR EXAMPLE: Is the person an audio, visual, hands on, memory, or combination learner? Some people will need repetition to develop a better understanding. Others will learn quickly,and will need a continuous flow of information to keep the attention focused -thus facilitating the learning process. The formal education will usually take place in grades Pre-K  -12. Unfortunately many children may not receive the best formal education for many reasons but ,mainly because the person's Learning Style has not been identified. What is your learning style? When did your parents, teachers, or you first recognize the learning method that works best for you. Truthfully speaking, many do not know.

The formal education is needed to prepare each person to become productive, self sufficient citizens. Whether you enter the workforce and acquire a job, attend a trade school or college to embark on a career, the good foundation of a formal education will be the beginning to ensure you achieve your desired goal.  Will you promote and encourage formal education? Who will you help receive a good formal education?The choice is yours; will you be part of the solution or part of the problem. Remember, Marlene says : Make It Happen.
