https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb A group of fifth grade students are working on their Primary Years Exhibition Project and would like to know why you think education is important for students? They would like contributions from all over the world. We thank you immensely for your contributions in advance. Also, some examples of what education looks like for elementary students in your country would be great and welcomed from educators, parents, and students. en-us 2020-02-25 05:26:36 UTC 2020-02-29 10:15:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30d.png https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450014974 Education is THE most important institution in the world. Every career is founded on it. It breaks down barriers, rectifies misunderstandings, and creates open-minded, intelligent people. Think of any problem in the world - how can it be solved? First, by understanding it and then by solving it. That is the aim of education - to produce young people who can contribute positively to society and to our world. Martin Luther Jr. put it best, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."]]> 2020-02-25 11:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450014974 https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450021411 I believe that education gives tools to children to become better individuals. It helps all of us grow our mind and respect each other. Finally, education empowers us to lead a better life, care for each other,  and 
be happy.]]> 2020-02-25 12:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450021411 https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450026299 I think Education is the key to a good future for your family.  You have so many options to follow your dreams throughout your life if you learn how to learn through a good education.  The tools that you acquire ensure that you can keep on learning through your whole life.  If you are happy, your family will benefit from how you support them in many ways.

One of my favorite quotes by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminds us that education is about teaching people to both think deeply and act morally to help humankind.

Sometimes I use it in the classroom to explore social topics and/or issues and sometimes I use it to educate audiences on those same topics. Education is important because it builds understanding and inclusion. Most violence in the world is caused by misunderstandings. Education can help prevent that!  
Embodied education (like theatre) can help you to learn the lessons more completely! ]]> 2020-02-25 16:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450174089 https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450184714 Graduated from Trochu Valley School and then taught there for 32 years (Karen Middleton Dickinson was a student of mine).  12 years into retirement and I am still learning through reading and travelling.

It provides us with academic, social and emotional wellbeing; life long skills to help us in our daily lives and for our future. It guides us to communicate and collaborate respectfully with each other. With education, we can bring innovative changes and solutions on a national or global stance.

Further, learning or educating yourself reveals new information, which you can then apply to your everyday life - it enables you to read the books you love, make better decisions about your life, engage in interesting conversations with other people and develop meaningful relationships, and make plans and strategies to pursue your goals. Your brain and body is your ‘vehicle to your dreams’ and education and the act of learning is what is needed to keep your vehicle operating as long as possible!]]> 2020-02-26 12:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450677092 https://padlet.com/zlessak/yf0wkqyyksjb/wish/450697774 Education is key and essential as it helps students know about world around them.
