Reflection 10

From of the first schools article, I acquired the Sumerians wanted to be intelligent and professional. The invention of writing was not only created but was applied in school. The practice of cuneiform was difficult, but needed to be study in the curriculum. From the early times, school was established to have students with goals and faculty wanting to teach. Teachers had a purpose for every lesson they created. As the Sumerian’s schools were expanding, the curriculum as well flourished with subject varieties, such as, grammatical, mathematical, theological knowledge. Writing and copying were key in learning about subjects. Discipline and structure was implemented, by having a school dad which today we can compare as a principle and attendance was required. The purpose for school was to be educated in work in professional jobs in temple`s and palaces with the rich. Teachers gave students praises and encouragement, that is a characteristic used in today`s everyday classrooms. Though school provided a chance to climb the social status ladder, it was difficult because school days lasted from sunrise to sundown. The first schools provided a chance for advancement and intelligence to the Sumerians.
The approach of Ancient Egyptian Education was to have children carry out their parents roles. The parents can be compared to their teachers in the sense that they provided the kids with skills to work, but as well as giving the kids ideas about the world. Imitating and copying with their parents did was there education. The only people who could advance in careers were the rich people. With comparing the first schools and ancient Egypt education, only the children that were wealthy from painters and sculptors and city fathers had the chance to actually learn real education with reading, writing, and math. Social skills such as manners, religious beliefs were learned by the kids from their humble parents. As well as school, being difficult is something in comparison with the first schools and ancient Egypt. In the first schools, the days were long and in Egypt’s education, there was no set length for school.
Today`s teacher effectiveness has intensified and progressed from the ancient times. Teachers continue to provide their students with the basic skills of math, reading, and writing as well as the social skills provided in the Egypt`s education. Teachers continue to lecture but in today`s modern times add more technology and other advances. Using textbooks are in use in studying and reading just like the Sumerians first schools. Teacher effectiveness and school curriculum has diverse and non-discriminated with any type of social class.
