Why Education Is Not an Economic Panacea

Natalia Flores Professor Benuto English 255 8 April 2014 Education is an Economic Panacea 1) Does slapping a class for few college units in Humanities going to change poverty overnight? At the beginning of the author’s writing he seemed to have no excitement of graduation and noticed a large number would begin. During the course the classes would get smaller and smaller. John seemed like didn’t really think too much of program but was being fully funded books in all for all people under 120% poverty level. John can to the conclusion more of a realization that low-income people are burden today about issues of not having enough. Most students were coming from most students female (Afro-American to Latinas) with one to two jobs and mothers. Found out would be more difficult to overcome poverty and the student’s situation than just one class consisting of several week courses. 2) Was President Bush blaming not enough education for rise on poverty? President Bush did make a statement that education was falling behind since in the new postindustrial era. Those before people with a high school were able to maintain a middle class earning. Thus drawing attention away from the lost economy and jobs lost or even left overseas. It helped giving President Bush an advantage of pushing the lost to other areas such as education. Just addition to one program does give someone hope and direction to change but there are so many other issues that needed to be addressed as a president. 3) Did the teacher feel different towards the end of the article about teaching? And did graduation become a more a special advent? After the end results the teacher John realized that it helped besides just a couple of college units. As many of his students were female and many in domestic violence situations gave these women better insight of social issues as a whole and not hidden home. It gave John a better insight as well as his parents were below poverty level too. As he seen many bloomed and others changed life for the better. Just proves that was quoted by Cesar Chavez ““Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.” John became more familiar in his students lives and struggles as graduation of few units became more valuable to give his students a greater incentives to began the struggles of combating poverty.
