Reflection #9

When compared to ancient education and first schools education, teacher effectiveness in today’s society is quite similar with a little difference set aside. Much education is based on a belief that all students are capable of equal outcomes. A difference in outcomes is all a matter of opportunity and fairness that education must fix. Back in ancient times, he children copied what they saw their parents doing and used this as their eventual trade of profession of such. Also whatever their parents taught them rather is was religious, point of views about how to look at others or label them all came from their parents’ beliefs. They never had their own opportunity to go out and explore the world themselves and experience it. Everything was by basically word of mouth. Just as today’s modern teaching, back then they had on job training also called (vocational training). Where the child would actually go out and work in a specific field of study. The only difference when compared to present day teaching is that it depends on the student’s credit on rather or not they were eligible for vocational training. For example, I was involved in on the job training as cosmetologist at Hair Escape Salon and Spa as a hair stylist. Every so often my teacher would come and check on me to make that I was attending work and was a doing a great job at it. This was a requirement that I had to fulfill for my graduation requirement. For the men in Egypt, their careers was not decided by themselves, it was often followed by their family trade or profession of study. Back then, there was no set limit to finish schooling nor start it, compared to today you must start school at the age of what I think four or five and graduate the twelfth grade before twenty.
