Without education, sensory information would simply be lost. Education allows us to process the information we receive on a daily basis and make conclusions and inferences based on what we already know.- Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why?- I believe that it is good that we have both private and public schools. The private schools gives the public schools competition and therefore they have to keep improving their school. - How can difference in education affect social inequality?- Too many of America’s most disadvantaged children grow up without the skills needed to thrive in the twenty-first century. Whether in educational attainment between income groups or racial/ethnic groups or across geographic locations—inequality persists. Low levels of performance among the most disadvantaged create long-term problems, particularly in an economy in which higher skill levels are more and more valued and the wages available to less-skilled workers are deteriorating. Some researchers claim, on one hand, that educational inequality is due to social class and family background. Others argue that inadequately managed schools bear most of the responsibility for low student achievement.- Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not? -In my opinion it should be free in all counties, than more people would have the same opportunities. It would not mean that everyone would have the same opportunities, because https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165067898 2017-04-06 08:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165067898 Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why? maljoh23 https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165067957 Public/state schools.
- Everybody should be equal
- Rich kids have the money to buy themselves a good future, poorer kids are stuck in a bad environment. They have a hard time getting up in the society.
- Private schools are just as good as state schools]]> 2017-04-06 08:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165067957 Education in UK and US rebecca2244 https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165068395 -In America the children are guaranteed 12 years of schooling.
- The children learn the alphabet and to count numbers at the age of 3. 
- The school levels are divided into; Junior, sophomore, freshman and senior.

  • Education is important to the society, because it affects the society’s opportunities. We need people who are qualified to do the work that is needed, and a good education is the way to get there.  
 Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why?
  • I think that there should be both public/state and private schools; people should be able to choose for themselves, and it seems to me that the private schools offer a better educational environment, and the pupils seemed to have more respect towards their teachers and fellow students. 
How can difference in education affect social inequality?
  • Some people do not have the money to pay for higher education, and are therefore not properly qualified to get the jobs with a higher payment. This is a bad circle that is hard to break free from, seeing as the people with less money cannot afford to educate themselves so they can get a job with good money. 
Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not? 
  • Education should be free of charge in all countries because it should be equal for everyone. Not everyone can afford education if they need to pay, which creates inequality because these people will not get the same opportunities as the general public.
Sum up what you have learned about education in the UK and the US.
  • Both countries have private and public schools. In the US children are guaranteed 12 years of school, and in the UK all children between the ages of 5 to 16 are required a full-time education.

 - I believe schools should be public, so everyone can have a fair chance to get a good education 
-  Difference in education affects social inequality in the way that people have different knowledge and some will get better jobs than others.
- Higher education should not be free. Since it is not compulsory it should not be free. But basic education like elementary school should be free in all countries, so everyone has the chance to get an education no matter your economic status

It is important because you need education to almost all jobs and you learn a lot about the society around you. You learn about other people's values and ways to live - Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why? I believe that schools should be public to everyone, because everyone deserves to have the right to go to school. If we only had private schools the social inequality would be at an all time high. This would make it difficult for families with low income to have their kids go to school. - How can difference in education affect social inequality? Differences in education give different possibilities to succeed in the social community. Everyone should have the same possibility to the type of education they want, regardless of social and economic status. This is currently not the case. - Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not? I believe that education should be free in all countries. The reason being that everyone need education to make a living out of themselves. In a society where education cost money, there is a great amount of people who can not afford it. In addition, not only is this bad for each individual that cannot get the education they need, but it is also bad for the society. This is because they lose potential income when people without an education have a hard time finding a job. Working people that earns money have to pay taxes. When less people get jobs, there will be less income in taxes. sansjo1 https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165069332 2017-04-06 08:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165069332 - Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why? emily_solemyoung https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165069499 We believe that public schools are more equal than private schools. The private schools can cause social differences between the rich people, who can attend to go good schools, and the poor people who cannot afford it. Everyone should have the same opportunity to get an equal education, whether or not you are able to pay a fee.  ]]> 2017-04-06 08:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165069499 - Why is education important to a society? emily_solemyoung https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165070030 Education is important to the society because knowledge is power and that this certain power is that education makes you successful in the near future. ]]> 2017-04-06 08:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165070030 - Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not? https://padlet.com/svelie1/7z3v0zd02jcq/wish/165070153 Basic and higher education should be free of charge in all countries. It is so that more will gain access to education. Not charging education can lessen the social differences. Charging education makes it hard for people to get the education they need to get somewhere in life (work etc.) There are exceptions when it comes to getting in private schools with provided tuitions such as getting a scholarship or getting in the top 10 in entrance exams, but again it is not easy.

Education is important to secure economic growth in a society. Individuals with education tend to be a greater resource.


Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why?

We believe that schools should be state schools. This makes education equal, and available for anyone - despite their economic situation at home. In Norway, the public schools are just as good as the private, and here public taxes also provide support to private schools.


How can difference in education can affect social inequality?

Differences in education leads to differences in socioeconomic status.


Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not?

We think basic education should be free of charge in all countries. This gives all kids the same opportunities. Higher education should also be free of charge. Education can be the key for development in many countries. Unfortunately, not every country have the economy to offer free education.
