I took Premise of School for an introduction into the life of teaching. I have gained much knowledge as to what is needed from a teacher, and how to decide if I am truly prepared to become a teacher. It has been a very educational class, that I enjoyed taking.
Education to its fullest.
Significance of Social Justice.
What is social justice? "The processes which seek to ensure the maintenance of a fair, equitable, egalitarian 
and generally harmonious society". It is definitely a topic that should be introduced to the students. It is such an important aspect of life. It is easy enough to talk about equality amongst people, but it is another thing to follow through with those beliefs. As a future teacher, it is obvious to understand that all students are different. There is not student alike. They have their different belief and ways of living. They come from different families with different backgrounds. All teachers see this, and should teach their students to understand this as well. All students should understand their differences, and how important they are, but also how important it is to seek equality.

Students need to learn how important social justice is and what it means for us as a community. Students are our future, and they are the ones who can change our future. Us as educators are here to help them along the way. Social justice is important to me as an educator because it can be a means of changing the way people treat one another. If everyone can show respect towards one another a lot of minor problems won't happen, helping the process of slowing down the major problems that come from not having social justice. www.usq.edu.au/planstats/Docs/GlossaryTerms.doc
Model of Education.
The purpose of teaching is to prepare students for a future full of happiness. Students need to feel comfortable in school in order to feel happiness. In order to feel comfortable, teachers
need to understand their students and how they are best able to achieve in the educational careers. It is not easy for teachers to make every single one of their students happy, but they have to try. A successful student will be the student who is willingly in class everyday prepared to learn. If the student is comfortable in the classroom it will be an easy task to get the students to learn. Teachers also need to keep their students attention. It is not easy due to the long school day, and the cutting back on recess. Students are not able to get out and release energy, but teachers need to account for this and make their lesson plans more interesting for their students.

It has its flaws, but in the grand scheme of things it is perfect. Teaching is not always an easy job, there are always ups and downs, but the times that students are all happy and learning- that is why teachers choose their profession. Looking from the outside in, teaching is a hard job. There are a lot of requirements and times where things are hard to deal with. Not all students are going to be a joy to teach, nor are they going to be days where nothing goes wrong, but in the end teaching brings fulfillment. It is the final picture, the masterpiece. The time where everyone sits backs and enjoys the accomplishments.
Issues facing Schools today
An issue facing many schools today is when to implement sex and drug education. Many people feel elementary school is too young, but they do not realize how young students are becoming active in sex and drugs. It is happening at younger ages as time goes on. Many people do not want to believe it, while others choose not to, but facts are facts. It is happening.
Students need to learn about the consequences of their actions. Sex and drug education should be introduced to elementary aged students. They do not need to know the entire aspects of sex and drugs, but they should get an introduction to it. It is hard to believe how young some of the students are, but I have personally seen students getting themselves into trouble as low as or lower than the fifth grade. Introductions to this education should start sooner than later, for the safety of our future generations.
