Over the course of this semester, we have read many articles and held numerous discussions about different aspects of education, and what education really meant. Articles such as "The Lesson" the Kaplan advertisements gave us the impression that education was everywhere, and that you don't have to be in a classroom to learn. On the other hand, some pieces that we read about higher education made education seem to be a system of politics, driven by money and pride. Lisa Delpit's article argued that education led to power, and that are inequalities in school stopping students from obtaining that power.
All of the topics that we discuss go into defining education. It is a complex word that means much more than what we traditionally associate with it; going to school, reading books, computing math problems, and so on and so forth. Education is all around us. We are constantly learning new things, in and outside of a classroom, and applying them to our lives. By gaining new knowledge and actually using it, we make ourselves more powerful and more valuable.
