         <description><![CDATA[<div>Schools of the present are pushing towards more focus of Math and Science to benefit the students for future work, but is it really helping them to remove ELA and other academics? Literature and other subjects provide students with essential resources for making their careers shine. Although, these topics are not needed for students to become scientist and engineers it provides them with the ability to become great engineers and scientists. Literature provides people with the ability to think more creatively, ask larger question, and use more thought to help them excel in their career. The Stem field is very important for schools and students today, but Literature and other academics play a big role in developing students into the greats of the future.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Today, schools are pushing people to focus on what the education system believes to be the main two subjects for STEM, which are math and science, so that they can have “better architects” and “better test scores” and to do this, what do they do? Well they abolish everything that isn’t STEM related. That, is not a good idea. Say that a person is trying to email his boss, but he knows nothing of punctuation, or even how to write in letter format, that’s what would happen if they abolished ELA. We also need to keep learning history, because we do not need it to repeat itself. What they need to understand is not everybody wants to be an architect, not everyone wants to be a scientist, the school systems say that it’s helping us be creative, free to learn students, but that’s what it was originally, they just want our grades to look better on paper, instead of letting us learn things such as history and ELA. That’s just my opinion, i think it’s taking away from our education, not adding to it.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>While Math and Science are important to education, there really needs to be more of a brush up on the classical arts such as Greek and Latin roots, and plays.    The reason why the Board of Education needs to include more classic literature subjects is because you don’t just need math and science to do well in life, there are many people who make a lot of money off of writing books, and acting in plays. Sure, Math and Science can get people money making jobs such as an engineer, or a marine biologist or mathematician but people also need literature skills for those jobs as well. “In other words, we need to educate students who are nimble, adaptable, agile, and innovative—the fruit of a classical education.” -Classical Education-The Best Preparation for STEM</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

Studies support that liberal arts nurture qualities wanted in stem-related jobs. Tom Wagner's book, The Achievement Gap, supports the idea that curiosity and imagination are qualities needed in modern day jobs. Business, military, and government leaders are looking for imagination in future employees. Liberal arts will ensure wanted qualities in our future workforce</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A classical education can benefit and enhance the STEM program, in STEM, you are required to thoroughly explain your theory or idea. For example , right now, the STEM program for 8th grade is writing an informational paper on the benefits and hydroponics and aquaponics. The students have to give evidence on the topic and back it up. The paper must have proper grammar, it must be entertaining and easy to read, as well as be in MLA format. Another way getting a classical education can benefit the STEM program is by learning Greek and Latin roots, in the medical field, the vocabulary is largely words with theses prefixes and suffixes. For example the word cardiovascular, cardio is a prefix from the Greek word kardia, meaning heart, vascular means affecting vessel or vessels, especially those that carry blood, therefore meaning relating to the heart and blood vessels. Although math and science are very important today, scrapping classical literature will leave students unprepared for the real world.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education can benefit or enhance a stem program. Currently they are not enhancing so much schools looks more at, science and math than history or literature/ Language arts . Stem also helps the other class topics  by using them in class. It is enhancing them more then they are enhancing Stem, with stem enhancing them the students might like the classes better. If the other classes start enhancing stem more than the students will like it all better . The other topics have reasons to be in school to help students get ready for the real world and the real world has literature and history in it.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>(Can a classical education enhance or benefit a STEM program?)</div><div>      Classical education can benefit S.T.E.M. programs because you can’t have programs like S.T.E.M. and not have a way to share the results of experiments. Another reason is that (most) people (government, military, successful business leaders) who hire wants skills from a liberal art education: critical thinking, collaboration across networks, adaptability, effective oral and written communication, and more. In science fields, communication is essential because of the many scientific words trace back to Greek and Latin, and (as we have learned in ELT), proper communication skills are required to properly show how to reproduce your experiment. In the end, Literature, both modern and classical, is required to know for S.T.E.M. fields.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education can benefit or enhance a S.T.E.M. program. If a person had been taught in the fashion of a classical education then they would develop a certain way of thinking, whereas someone who was taught with a S.T.E.M. program would not think in the same manner. People who have been educated in classical literature might have a more creative way of thinking and a wider variety of ideas for a certain topic. If someone were to have a math and science based education they probably will have one general idea based on facts, and will not think in a creative enough fashion to have more possible options. As classical education promotes creativity and a wider variety of thinking and should be taught to help better the people in society today. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education is a solid base for a good STEM education. Right now, STEM graduates are learning math and science, but what happened to language? The world seems to be calling for more and more engineers &amp; scientists, but what we really need is a more literal education for everyone. What if every STEM graduate skipped out on ELA? Scientists wouldn’t be able to log progress, engineers wouldn’t be able to write to managers. An education that includes liberal arts will make for more developed, creative individuals.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Sam Tondreau&nbsp;<br>STEM is one of the most important things to learn about. It is everywhere, in our jobs, increasing in our schools, and pushing other educational ideals away from school. Removing “classical’ parts from a student's education is a horrible mistake. Without literature you cannot argue, I would not be writing this, you would not be able to critically think about what i am trying to covey. Without understanding of history not only could your finding be shared with other countries and not knowing what is morally correct to society. Without the knowledge of what has been done how much conflict would there be? How many people would believe mass genocides never happened? “fool who does not know his own history is doomed to repeat it”. Literature and History are intertwined with STEM and without the whole humanity’s knowledge is limited to logistics and facts, we would be left as a one sided coin, a yin without a yang. And what would our world be then?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Whether you are in second grade taking a vocabulary quiz, or in college taking your final exams to graduate and earn your degree, the inputs of society will affect your criteria. According to “Classical Education - The Best Preparation for STEM”, Many schools are considering eliminating literature and history from there criteria. This would be extremely counterintuitive because without having a base class of reading and writing, you could not build a sound structure of math and science to ensure the success of a student's future. It takes advanced reading and literature to achieve advanced math and science. With the ever changing criteria, students must be on their toes and ready to learn anything. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There has been a lasting debate of what the point of teaching liberal arts is when the world needs more STEM majors. Christopher Perrin wrote an article which states, "The engineers, who can ask the large questions, integrate knowledge, work across disciplines, and write and speak beautifully and persuasively, they are the engineers who start companies or rise up as division managers and CEOs." Without learning liberal arts, any worker who classifies under STEM may not be able to perform like other workers who have been taught liberal arts. If a worker cannot do all of these things, how will they thoroughly complete their job and work out problems? If anything, liberal arts needs to be taught to as many students as possible for them to have a successful career.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A classical education can not enhance a STEM program. How can studying English, history, and philosophy produce graduates that are entering the scientific field? Learning Shakespeare has no connection whatsoever with science or math. Shakespeare writes poems and stories and math solves math equations. STEM is there for those, who want to become engineers, scientists or mathematicians, not some writers! Why do you need liberal arts when you are not going to use them in the first place? It be a big waste of education usage. According to "Classical Education - The Best Preparation for STEM" it states,"Latin was good for learning latin, and not much else." In STEM, there's no use for Latin words. You only solve equations, learn how to solve real-world problems, and others. Latin can be used for some scientific fields(such as doctors, nurses, scientists and others), but definitely not for those who want to become engineers. In conclusion, classical education can not enhance STEM projects.</div>]]></description>

Pollution? Piece of cake, clean renewable energy source coming your way.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education can benefit STEM education in various ways. For example the 8th grade STEM classes are required to write essays to better inform people on the science behind hydroponics. To write a successful essay, you must have a some sort of education to ensure you are writing in the correct format or spelling correctly. Currently most school systems focus on math, science, and technology. ELA is being shadowed but it is required to publish any research that is conducted. Liberal arts will enhance the way students see STEM. Whether you are in a STEM class, or a classical education class, you will end up using one of the other.  Classical arts is just as important as science and mathematics. Each subject area will end up benefiting the other.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Can a classical education enhance or benefit a STEM program?" A classical education is often times required for areas of the STEM work ethic. Although classical education systems apply given information through writing and memory, there is not much "hands on" interaction. STEM work ethics often focus around the idea of trial and error, where one thinks up a hypothesis and tests it. In classical education, classes specialized in science or STEM teach students about scientific method, in which it is explained how one is to form a hypothesis. So, classical and pragmatic education go hand in hand when it comes to STEM related work environments. IF it had not been for classical education teaching students about scientific method, they would not have known what a hypothesis is, and possibly not be able to form  and test one. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Liberal Arts may not enhance the Stem education but education as a whole. Many educators and students over the years have discussed the false idea that Liberal Arts has become useless. Liberal Arts is stereotyped to be this enlarged study of the old Latin language, however, Liberal Arts includes Mathematical Arts such as arithmetic and geometry and many more bases of education. A large weakness in this debate comes from the side who doesn't understand the meaning of “arts” or “liberal”.  Without a full understanding of what we are debating, our debate is doomed from the start. The Stem conversation is really and truly nothing new, its is rather the continuation in America’s discussion of what education and is and should be. In conclusion, Liberal Arts may have been categorized by society, but it will always have an impact on education. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A Classical Education can not benefit or enhance a STEM program in a substantial manner. If a student has a set career path for the future, then they should not be taught the subjects that will not help them with the career or career path they’ve chosen. For example, if a student wants to become an aerospace engineer, said student should not be taught the subject area of ELA or Social Studies. They would only be needing the skills in math and science. Most modern careers are veering more towards the technological side of things. Soon, people won’t need to be writing with paper and pencil, however instead, using a computer and spell correct. According to the article, “ The study of Latin had no “Mental Training” value, no transferable skill to other kinds of learning in other subjects.” (Classical Education - Preparation for STEM) Teaching Classical Education to students will take a lot away from the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math parts of the Stem program, considering the fact that classical education focuses more on the literature side of education, and less on the STEM aspects of things. Requiring students to have a classical education could possibly cause the students to not become successful in the future, since technology is becoming greater. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	Many schools all across the world are making a push to get their students to focus on Math and Science, to prepare them for future careers, but how beneficial is it? This being done has caused a decrease in the push for students to learn ELA and other once common academics, leading to less focus on it from both teachers and students. Without studying these topics, students can still become engineers and scientists, which is what schools are pushing for, but these students cannot become great scientists and engineers. Learning literature allows students to think more creatively and critically. If these students learn to think more creatively and critically, it will let them further and distinguish themselves in their field of the workforce. If students do not properly learn ELA and some basic Latin, these engineers and scientists will experience trouble in trying to record the things they have discovered. All in all, students will benefit much more in the up-and-coming technological workplace with a good education in the art of language.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Liberal Arts can help very much with a STEM education. One reason is that Liberal Arts actually <em>includes</em> mathematics! Mathematics is a study that is very similar to other arts; not only do both deal with free flow and pattern, but mathematics is also literally the study of <em>harmony</em> and <em>ratio</em>! This also means that to call  Liberal Arts against math and science, when math is a part of Liberal arts! Common sense shows that Math can't be prohibit the learning of itself. In conclusion, STEM and the Liberal Arts do not go against each other in the way many think they do; instead, they are intertwined beyond measure, and are correlated at the lowest levels!</div>]]></description>

What about English and Social Studies? It is not important to know how to read and write and learn about your country's history? Now, don’t get me wrong, math, science, technology and engineering are very important and vital skills to possess. But, schools are putting aside the importance of English and&nbsp; History. Also, I know many people who would like classical literature but their school does not possess it. Therefore, I believe that a classical education should be used instead of a S.T.E.M education.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education (or a liberal arts education) has been seen as not very beneficial for the children that shall lead the future, and instead many schools have opted to go for a more STEM heavy education and are completely getting rid of all classical education. In “Classical Education- The Best Preparation for STEM” it states that “His research shows that the skills that government, military, and business leaders want in their employees are the fruits of . . . a liberal arts education.” Furthermore in a below list he highlights what those exact traits of a liberal arts education is, which are as follows; critical thinking and problem solving skills, collaboration across networks and leading by influence, agility and adaptability, initiative and entrepreneurialism, effective oral and written communication, accessing and analyzing information, curiosity and imagination. Which all are given by a liberal arts education, so if that education is given to a student earlier in their education they will have those qualities by the time they can add onto the classical education with a STEM education. Education just needs to adapt to a format where liberal arts and a STEM education are intertwined and working off of each other to create the best education for the people that will be leading our world in the future.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>No, Stem classes would not benefit from classical literature, stem and programs like it are the very reason that classical education was put aside, since it does not SEEM necessary to the modern world,and there’s a reason that it is referred to as classical education, because the times changed , and those ideals are no longer relevant. People will be much more equipped for the modern world if they master a technological expertise, and while classical education have been more efficient at teaching mathematics, art, and literature, it was all pencil and paper, which is not used in the modern world anymore. Therefore, while it is definitely necessary to apply the fundamentals of classical education to modern classrooms, it is NOT needed in a field such as stem, as it would simply collide with stem’s ideals.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Liberal arts are a topic every student or adult has been taught, yet some people argue that it does not compete well in the modern world. Many people argue that it does not integrate with math and science, or main learning goals, and so its basically useless in education. That, of course, is not true. Many Military leader’s find it extremely important for soldiers to be well educated in liberal arts in order to describe the battlefield, or other place of work. Businessmen, such as Steve Jobs, also find this important. “Liberal arts and technology go hand-in-hand,” Steve Jobs once said. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>STEM programs would not be sucessful  without the help of classical education. "The engineers who ask the large questions, integrate knowledge, work across disciplines, and write and speak beautifully and persuasively, they are the engineers who start companies or rise up as division managers and CEOs." Classical education helps to teach students these skills by teaching them critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and many other helpful skills. In order to be a good scientist or engineer, you need to know the steps of the writing process, in order to communicate and share your research effectively. Classical education helps to create the foundation for STEM programs.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>ELA can come useful in life whether you are a doctor, accountant, or programmer. The study of liberal arts can impart a freedom of soul, mind, conscience, and freedom that makes men/woman the best versions of themselves and better workers in jobs. This can be very important when entering the work force cause you are more likely to get a job and do well at it. As a result liberal arts shouldn't be removed cause it is a necessary skill for life and even jobs even if not related to literature.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Having a classical education rather than a STEM based education can benefit or enhance a student’s education. When a student receives a STEM education, they are taught to use facts and numbers. These students may be less creative than students that received a classical education. Students who have a classical education will write better because they are more creative than STEM students. Many employers seek students who have a classical education. Many people who own companies were taught a classical education. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div> Classical education is beneficial to STEM science however many schools have been shoving more math and science into kid's learning and forgetting the importance of Language arts. Many careers that are built around STEM but literature is still crucial for them. For example, engineers construct and problem solve and they also write about how they do it. They have to share information somehow so that humans all around can benefit. Writing can help improve the level of creativity and enhance success in the future. People would be at a lost without the education of Liberal arts.<br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Although STEM subjects and subjects in a classical education may seem like they have nothing to do with each other, a classical education may benefit a STEM program. In the STEM program you have to think creatively, and classical education is can help students analyze and think outside of the box. Literature enhances inventive thinking. In literature what the author is trying to communicate is not always direct and you must think about the details in the story, and analyze it. Just like in classical education, you must think inventively in STEM, which means that literature helps practice thinking creatively. Classical education helps practice skills needed in STEM, and that enhances the program.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Having a classical based education can be beneficial to both students and STEM programs. Incorporating STEM classes into a classical education can help shape an individual who has traits that will enhance them as a person, including knowledge and creativity. Liberal arts focuses on teaching a student how to creatively convey his or her ideas that are formed from STEM standards. This student can then grow into an adult that will be able to invent and innovate creatively, then publish a written work that can flawlessly inform his or her audience about their idea. Without liberal arts, or a classical education, a person would never reach their full potential.  </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Every STEM student needs a background on classical education.  Being able to learn classical education will help the STEM student be a better version of themselves and who they will become in the future. Some people believe that the only way to produce engineers or mathematicians for this generation is to cut the students core classes and focus on STEM. The problem with this is that students will only become engineers or mathematicians. They will not have any creative spunk to them that they would have learned from English, Social Studies, Science, or Math. In order to help students become the best versions of themselves, we should not discontinue students classical education experience.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education can benefit and enhance the STEM program. You would need to have classical education in order to have the STEM program because, the STEM program was built from the classical education and you have to know the classical education to better understand the STEM program. STEM means science, technology, engineering, and math, so you have to have classical education to understand the STEM program. Although more jobs are asking for their employees to be educated with liberal arts they still require their employees to be educated in the classical education. The STEM program may be beneficial from students in the future, but you have to be educated in both STEM and classical education. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As stem programs become larger and a more significant part of United State’s schools, many people argue that a traditional education does not enhance any of the skills or content that students learn in stem. However, many people who argue this simply can not see the many benefits that having a classical education can provide. The liberal arts can improve upon the qualities that stem programs teach because it helps students better understand, learn, and write about the topics they’re taught.  For example, if kids learn about Greek and Latin roots, they will be able to understand and infer many words that are used in biology and math. Also, a traditional education teaches students how to use proper grammar and sentence structure, which can help them write better research papers in stem related fields. Although math and science are important, we can not forget our history and culture which help further elevate the skills needed in stem fields.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>     Having and pertaining a classical education can benefit a STEM program. Christopher Perrin, PhD, wrote in an article titled, "Classical Education- The Best Preparation for STEM", "Studying the liberal arts... makes men and women... better workers of all kinds- better scientists, engineers, and computer programmers... [These] engineers... start companies or rise up as division managers and CEO's." Perrin stated that a study of classical literature can expand the mind and make one a more inquisitive and better person, thus increasing their working capabilities. What qualities a classical education provide are what current and future employers are looking for in an employee. Teaching classical education will ensure these qualities in our future workforce and help the next generation become the best kind of workers they can be.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	Classical education can help benefit and enhance a STEM program. Although some may argue that STEM is for students who want to become scientists, engineers, or mathematicians and that they do not need writing as an essential resource, that is not true in any way. These careers may focus mainly on mathematics and science, but writing is still an important factor. Engineers and scientists still have to write about their discoveries, or they have to explain their design and how it works. Students will need to know how to properly write an essay in STEM class to help prepare them for the future career. For example, in the 8th grade STEM class at my school, students are writing an essay about hydroponics and how it will solve the sustainability problem. This will help prepare students for when they are older and need to this information. In conclusion, classical education can benefit students in the STEM program and in their future career.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Whenever something in relation to impending doom is ever on the horizon, the world has always made it it's main focus to create jobs to fix it. This was accomplished with the creation of STEM,  all other mediums of education have been left in a state of disinterest. One of the worst cases of this is English Language Arts. This is a, for lack of a better term, a bad move considering that before the integration of STEM, ELA was regarded as one of the most important this to learn in schools. Add that to the fact that almost everything is built on language, from the units on the yardstick used to measure a Dutch Bucket system, to the Greek symbols that come into play when designing a complex machine. While yes there is the stereotype of the "English major waiting tables or working at Starbucks" (Perrin, Classical Education...), the threat of eliminating the English major is coming closer and closer. In conclusion, ELA should be well appreciated as helping STEM rise in popularity and become a solution to the world's problems. The literary textbook should be in the backpack, not the trash can.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A classical style education can benefit a school’s STEM program in many ways. You may think that STEM is a wonderful idea and a great addition to today’s schools, but it’s actually “taking over” schools and decreasing the focus of the “liberal arts,” including literature, philosophy, art, and interpretation. STEM is very beneficial in some ways, but depriving the focus on liberal arts, students are being “shoved” into a mindset or occupation they may not enjoy. All students need at least a small background in all subjects to get a better understanding of what’s out there, as well as to help them improve in their own futures. Liberal arts are a key component to everyone’s life in the aspect that they help you to express the way you interpret things. Liberal arts are necessary to show students that there are more than just occupations such as engineers, and that the person sitting next to them may have a different perspective than them. Literature and other liberal arts are great ways to demonstrate different types of people, cultures, and ways of life, which may broaden a student’s understanding of someone, or even lead to someone making a huge breakthrough in science, for example, and finding a cure for a deadly disease. Liberal arts and STEM go hand in hand, but must be balanced in a school environment.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>STEM education is still important to the world we live in. STEM’s acronym is: Science, Technology, Engineering, &amp; Mathematics. All these different terms are still important in today’s world to achieve a high-quality, high paying job. Many people these days are looking for people with certain qualities, like in paragraph 10 “.. a professional chemist writes that she needs chemists with a liberal arts education.” Liberal arts is made up of many different topics, such as literature, philosophy, social and physical science, etcetera. Liberal arts goes hand-in-hand with STEM education. The math and science that make up the arts are also what makes up STEM. If schools brought back STEM and liberal arts, students would be able to find a high-quality, high paying job that works well with the skills they possess.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A classical education can benefit the STEM program because in STEM you are required to backup your response with a thorough answer. In STEM you have to write research essays with correct grammar and in MLA format. In English class students learn about correct grammar usage and how to put a paper in MLA format, without this the research papers would not be near as good as they are. If a student would like to go into the law or medical field, they have to be versed in Greek and Latin roots. The student would be in a better place with the upcoming task if this had been taught in school. Science and Math are very important, but so is Literature, kids will be better prepared for the real world if at least some language was involved in their everyday school life.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education, in my opinion, does not degrade from STEM, rather, it enhances it to a whole new level. STEM will not teach kids how the world works, it only teaches them some aspects of it. For instance, science, technology, engineering, or mathematics will not teach a child about the different civilizations of this world. If students never acquire the knowledge of these civilizations, then there would be no one left to branch out into other places. Classical education also teaches useful skills, like the ability to read a text, break it apart, analyse it, then put it all back together. These skills would never be taught without a classical education. STEM is enhanced from classical education, and schools should not abandon the path of classical education for the greater good of the generations to come.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Although many people today think otherwise, a classical education can benefit the stem learning program. A classical education has been shown to create a strong foundation of good writing skills for students learning the areas of English, philosophy, and history. This can lead to increase in ceativity, which is critical for innovation in stem learning. Other beneficial contributions include a hgher level of thinking which allows the option to produce increasingly more rigorous questions and answers. These, along with other unlisted results, prove that libeal arts can help benefit the stem learning program.    </div>]]></description>

We have been mainly focusing on the liberal arts such as, English and history. In my opinion I would prefer to focus on STEM instead of the liberal arts. STEM comes easier to me because I am better with numbers instead of words and dates used in liberal arts.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical Education can benefit the STEM program majorly. The STEM program focuses on problem solving, creativity, communication, critical thinking, and more; so does classical education in a way. Just think what sparks creativity and critical thinking more than a book about philosophy or just even a murder mystery. Literature allows people of all ages to start thinking out of the box and that's what STEM is all about, thinking outside of the box. Just think how STEM is directly correlated with Classical Education and how they depend on the one another.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Although most pragmatists believe that classical education should be left out in educational programs, they are actually doing the least logical thing they can do. Classical education, such as English, Latin and Greek, allows students to be prepared for future jobs such as a STEM teacher or a nurse. Knowledge in the language area would help a STEM teacher because the teacher could assign students the assignment needed to advance the program. Classical education would also help a nurse because most of the medical terms are derived from Greek and Latin roots, like cardio which means heart. Some pragmatists believe that math and science are the only beneficial classes to take, but a person that is skilled in the language field, along with math and science, would make a more distinguished individual. This creates a paradox in the title, "pragmatist". Excluding language arts would discourage the knowledge of the individual.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>While the liberal arts are important, math and science are more applied in everyday situations, and therefore should be put in front of liberal arts. Not only are STEM  skills used more on a daily basis, but they are also more common skills needed for many jobs today. Although literature is a base for many things STEM related, focusing on it less in schools will not completely take it out of the system. About 86% of jobs require simple addition and subtraction, and that number will only rise through the years to come. Though writing is used very commonly in STEM, it is not as important as knowing the science and math you are writing about. Liberal arts should be focused on less than STEM and STEM related topics. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The idea that liberal arts help with teaching STEM principles is not an old one. And has developed through years and years of evolution of the education system. Though, as you learn in basic science class, sometimes mutations lead to the death of the animal. </div><div><br></div><div>The current education system was constructed centuries ago by the monks of the Catholic church. And the idea of a singular teacher, lecturing a group of students until they understand a concept has stuck around from that. Though, this is one of the most ineffective methods of teaching. Many students, up to 75%, are not auditory learners. It has become better recently with the inclusion of the teacher’s board, allowing for some help with visual learners, but even then the teacher is neglecting 45% of the classroom. </div><div><br></div><div>If a student is not learning in a classroom, how are they supposed to be expected to learn how to learn from pieces that they are unable to interpret? The simple answer is that they shouldn’t be --shouldn’t be in that type of system that is. Classical education can assist with the thought process, but that’s only if students are allowed to give thought to it. How are supposed to do that if everything taught is based on memorization? It’s rather simple, you remove the system. </div><div><br></div><div>Classical education is a great concept, but it is often portrayed and taught wrongly. If only there were some way to have classical education without having the standard, and failing, way of learning. That’s why a way that allows students to understand should come about. That’s why a way to make sure students can apply what they have learned to everything in their lives. STEM should be implemented. </div><div><br></div><div>Though STEM has come from classical learning, it has become it’s much, much better cousin. STEM allows for subject to connect and develop together. Not only that, but it allows for discussion in a classroom --something vital for the development of understanding and concepts. After all, the human race wouldn’t be where it is today without a little mental exploration. </div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, classical education is important, but only if it’s taught properly. And the way to teach it properly, is by using the values set forth in STEM-type education. Classical education builds up STEM learning and STEM enhances classical learning. They’re the ying-yang of learning --you have to balance the two to build the perfect system. </div><div><br></div><div>Sources - </div><div><a href="http://www.dyslexiavictoriaonline.com/learning-style-auditory-visual-kinesthetic-dyslexics/">http://www.dyslexiavictoriaonline.com/learning-style-auditory-visual-kinesthetic-dyslexics/</a></div><div><a href="https://www.edutopia.org/stw-college-career-stem-infographic">https://www.edutopia.org/stw-college-career-stem-infographic</a> </div><div><a href="http://aacpsschools.org/asp/stem/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/STEM-Values.pdf">http://aacpsschools.org/asp/stem/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/STEM-Values.pdf</a> </div><div><a href="https://www.thetrumpet.com/210-the-surprising-origin-of-modern-education">https://www.thetrumpet.com/210-the-surprising-origin-of-modern-education</a> </div><div><br></div><div>For more information - </div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HndV87XpkWg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HndV87XpkWg</a></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Egxm5QuW9o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Egxm5QuW9o</a> </div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR0_sZtCfJ0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR0_sZtCfJ0</a> </div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCFqjovH3s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCFqjovH3s</a> </div>]]></description>

It also helps to be adaptable in the STEM world because you will most likely be working with other people. Communication is one of the most important parts of STEM. When you have an idea that solves a worldwide problem you need to be able to communicate your idea to the world, clearly and thoroughly.  Being educated in other categories other than the ones taught in STEM can be helpful when you are working on a big project that requires a lot of creative and out-of-the-box thinking. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education can benefit in STEM programs. Schools have been focusing more on the math and science portion of school to help students ready themselves for careers, but literature and language are just as important. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. While taking STEM based classes or having a career in a STEM field you are required to use literature when writing about discoveries or informing others on an invention. With a classical education students are proven to think more creatively which can help write essays to prepare for their future jobs. Knowing how to write well will help greatly in STEM programs. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

The learning of Liberal Arts has proven to be effective in all areas of primary academics, including STEM. This act of learning helps to improve reading, writing, comprehending, designing, and innovating, which is beneficial in all aspects of life. Liberal arts also encourages the human mind to think creatively and open itself up to adding more knowledge to it's already superior intelligence. The study of a classical education has been a debate for over a decade, but while proven evidence supports the fact that our future may depend on it, there should be no debate.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classical education can enhance the S.T.E.M program. Even though S.T.E.M widely revolves around science and mathematics, having knowledge of subjects like literature can greatly enhance this program. Students in S.T.E.M are constantly having to write essays and explain what they are doing and why. You cannot do these things unless you have knowledge of literature and you are able to write. A classical education also includes subjects like math and science and does not just include the literature. Math is widely used in S.T.E.M and so is science. S.T.E.M students use math and science almost every day and having more knowledge of these two subjects can help their overall performance in S.T.E.M. That is why classical education can have a great effect on S.T.E.M.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Can a classical education benefit or enhance a STEM program?"  The STEM work ethic often times calls for ones ability to identify a problem and solve it using scientific method. Engineers and similar careers utilize this method more so than others, however, how does a classical education help benefit this? Classical education is based on a three-part preparation of the mind. First being the absorption of information, which is applied in the early years of a student education. Next is argument development, in which students think through what sides of an argument they will advocate. And lastly, in high school, students learn to express their thoughts on writing. How does this tie into the STEM work ethic? In order to form a result, one must first form a hypothesis and from that, modify it to match the outcome of an experiment.   </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For centuries, there has always been a debate over whether or whether not to study classical education. Most people want students to focus on math and science, because these subjects play a primary role in our future. However, dismissing other topics like history and ELA is a bad idea. Many of the jobs in today’s society and the future will require basic writing skills. If students are not taught writing skills, they will not be very successful in life. Students who plan to have jobs in the field of STEM may need to write out their progress or write to future managers. With just an education of math and science, the future generation could become good scientists. However, with an education of math, science, ELA, and history, they could become great scientists. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>WIth the growing job market the arts are becoming less prevalent, but this isn’t the case for technology. According to legis.iowa.gov over 50% of jobs require a basic understanding of technology which will only rise to 77% in the coming decade. Because of the widespread use of technology I think It would be best if we no longer had ela or history beyond 5th grade. This is because basic grammar skills and sentence structure is important but currently for most jobs that is about all you need. But I strongly believe that ela and history teachers should still exist beyond 5th grade but just not in a mandatory course. It is important to let a student do what he desires but not to force anything more than necessary onto them.</div>]]></description>

Although STEM fields are ever-growing, there is still an abundance of useful content in other areas that students need just as much to be successful. Problem solving skills, knowledge of history and English, and more are all vital to escalating in position at one’s workplace and being able to accomplish higher achievements, even in STEM jobs. An education in liberal arts covers those categories and more while simultaneously incorporating STEM subject areas, assuring that students learn all that they need to be successful. As expressed, it would be prefered for schools to use classical education as a way to cater the curriculum towards student’s individual goals. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	Classical education, or sometimes called the liberal arts, are suddenly coming under fire recently for not assisting students for future jobs and are being rendered useless by many today, but is this just? Most people believe that the liberal arts don’t assist S.T.E.M., but instead hinder it. That is quite the contraire, If you didn’t use the “humanities” doing S.T.E.M related things would become quite difficult. In order to advance further we need to develop solutions to issues that may not be a problem now, but in the future, which requires some philosophy. It is also a rarity to see an engineer ask deep questions and can work across  disciplines and one that can also present and construct works of writing beautifully, which is what classical education teaches and those skills can be immensely vital. Individuals that proceed to S.T.E.M. career(s) need to keep in mind to not entirely disregard the liberal arts, but to maybe embrace them and utilize them in conjunction with each other in order to become more skilled at their profession, whatever it may be.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The classical education system is beneficial to the STEM education in multiple ways. You will find that many key components of a STEM education are also key components found in a classical literature education. Curiosity and imagination, analyzing and accessing information, and effective oral and written communication are all key components found in both a classical and STEM education. You use these key components in literature when you write, read, and learn, and when you build, design and plan, like in a STEM education. Analyzing and accessing information can be used when you analyze a poem or a short story, and also when you figure out how to solve a math problem, or research something for science. When you write, whether it is informational, narrative, or argumentative, you use curiosity and imagination to come up with your writing, and you also use curiosity and imagination when you have to come up with something to engineer that will fix the problem. If your schooling is a STEM-based education, it would be helpful to also have a classical education, because the two aren’t really all that different. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The argument is not whether stem or classical education is better but if a classical education and stem could complement each other. Studies have found that teaching of the liberal arts like literature, philosophy, history, and mathematics can help in technical fields as much as it helps in english and history based fields. One of the biggest ways liberal arts can help in stem is that math is a liberal art. Math is very important in stem seeing as it is one of the things that stem included in its name. Math works in tandem with the other parts of stem like engineer and technology but also works better with a teaching of the liberal arts. This is why the liberal arts don't prohibit stem teachings but in fact help in stem fields</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A classical based education can benefit a STEM program. Studying not just English, but how to write effectively and persuasively is an invaluable talent to the STEM field when publishing&nbsp; reader has documents and writing grants. Furthermore, classical education includes multiple connections in different places to the Stem field, such as mathematics and music.&nbsp;Classical education is vital to the Stem field because it promotes creativity and problem solving, unlike the current education system in America, where collaboration and creativity is discouraged as you are being told what to think 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, which does not let students develop desired traits for there future career in the STEM field. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Students should be receiving a liberal arts education. As stated in the article, "Studying the liberal arts actually does impart a freedom of soul, mind, conscience, and spirit that makes men and women the best versions of themselves...". Being able to find the best versions of themselves really helps people in the world be able to go through life alone or with someone else, especially students that have just left home for college. Being able to show the best version of themselves can help them excede in classes, get a good job, and be able to adapt to living by themselves. The article also states, "...thus, yes, better workers of all kinds.". The world needs better workers, such as engineers, scientists, and programmers. But, to have those kinds of jobs filled, students need to be taught liberal arts to increase their ability to understand and have critical problem thinking and solving (one of the seven survival skills). Unfortunatley, today this type of education is dying out slowly, so be the one to help bring it back. It might help change the world for the better. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Receiving a Classical Education is vital to the success of today’s students and is the base for all Stem related education and careers. “Studying the liberal arts actually does impart a freedom of soul, mind, conscience, and spirit that makes men and women the best versions of themselves and thus, yes, better workers of all kinds—better scientist, engineers, and computer programmers.”  Receiving a classical education or studying the liberal arts allows students and adults to see the bigger picture and focus not on only one subject. It is important that people learn to look at a problem and try to solve it, even if they weren’t trained on the subject in college. Students who receive a classical education are most likely to be the most successful, regardless of their career path. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For many of years, there has been a debate as to if kids should get a classic education, or a STEM based education. The article “Classical Education- The Best Preparation for STEM” written by Christopher Perrin supports the idea that a classical education is better, and I agree with him. In this world, our career choices and our life turnout should be our decision, not the government's. As a student, I look forward to being able to decide what career pathway I will take, and what my major’s will be. In my lifetime i have no interest in being in  a science or math based career. My favorite subjects have always been anything regarding the arts, and ELA. Literature is an important part in our world, society, and lives, and I don't think it should be pushed away. Should we be told how our lives are gonna be? No. If anything, I think that the liberal arts should be taught more, and we should be able to decide what we are going to do with our lives.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The United States have been busily debating as to whether schools should utterly remove the subjects of literature and history and focus more on the topic of STEM. Although many people would disagree with this, because they believe that literature and history makes up the “humanity” of a person and without it teaching would just be a? Without our humanity and the lessons that we’ve learned over the years, we would just be reliving history again, because the students would lack the proper knowledge of right from wrong all those years ago. Not only this would occur but the students would also not know how to properly read and write without literature. In conclusion, that is why we need literature and history in our lives.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Although a hypothesis is required for most if not all stem jobs. It doesn't take much schooling to get to that point. Everyone needs at least a couple years of ela but&nbsp;it really depends on the person. People who have a gift for ela could develop the skill early on and no longer need to be taught.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>STEM is a big part of a student’s path into the workforce but without classical education it would not be effective. Classical education is the root to any education. It teaches people how to think and be able to do other things. Literature and history teach a person their origins and allow them to communicate to their peers and teachers which helps them soak up learned information better. Classical education even goes back to learning how to speak. How would a child learn without knowing how to speak or understand speech? With that being said, a person can’t learn anything without classical education’s literature. Basicly, STEM is nothing without classical education. Classical Education should not be put aside or the effects could be bad for students.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;Over the years, classical education has been pushed out the door because it is seen as a disadvantage for students in a S.T.E.M. program. By giving students a wider concept of learning with liberal arts, not only benefits them in life, but also opens up abilities to create, write, solve, and converse with others. Schools have been hammering down on students about what subjects are needed to be focused on, which always ends up being the usual math and science. However, by allowing classical education to be a bigger part of students' education, better helps them in other subjects such as math and science in the future. Take it from Classical education-The Best Preparation for STEM, which states, “Studying the liberal arts actually does impart a freedom of soul, mind, conscience, and spirit that makes men and women the best versions of themselves and thus, yes, better workers of all kinds—better scientists, engineers, and computer programmers.” Students who decide to study more of liberal arts tend to have a stronger learning base for programs like S.T.E.M. and better jobs in the workforce than those who would rather overlook it.</div>]]></description>
