Introduction of Schooling

            School is one place that everyone will have to be there in the specific times of their life. But do you know what the importance of school is? The answer to this question is that school is considered to be important because it makes us learn everything about the world surround us. Plus, it also gives us all the equipment such as ethic in work, social talents, behavior, and everything we need for the success of our future life as well (Ebert & Culyer, 2010).

            We all need to know more for what is exactly the purpose of schooling for our life to motivate ourselves and also our generation to go for the highest level of education they can. Since the nature of students are different, some of them might easily motivate themselves to study well in school, but, some of them might do not any motivation at all. For this reason, the role of teachers also quite essential in defining the lesson for the students to learn at school as well. So, in this paper, we will discuss all of those points properly.

Purpose of schooling

            If we are speaking about the purpose of schooling, there are many purposes that some sociologists have been arguing so far. However, they have highlighted for four main purposes of schooling (Montgomery & Kehoe, 2015) mentioned such as:

·         For the academic purposes like the enhancement of reading or mathematical skills of the students

·         For the economic purpose like the preparation for the future job of the students

·         For the social purpose like the enhancement of moral as well as the social responsibility of the students

·         For political purposes like the integration of immigrants

One thing that we have to keep in mind that schooling has more importance than just for getting any job. Instead, schooling gives the power to every single person to think and act properly. Schooling basically aims to make us ready to face our life as an independent person.

Nature of the student of the School

            Every single individual definitely grows his or her own style of knowledge which based on their different background, talents, experiences, expectations, interests, learning style, family background, their likes and also dislikes, and so on. Therefore, the teachers should not have the same expectation for different students, since they come with a different brain and different capabilities as well. Even the level of motivation between one student to another one also could be different. However, as long as they want to learn and have the motivation to understand the importance and fundamental point of schooling for their lives, then basically, they all have the same common, which is, trying to get a good education at school to prepare them for their future lives (National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences, Committee on Developments in the Science of Learning with additional material from the Committee on Learning Researc, 2010).

A teacher’s role of the School

            A teacher's role is obviously more than only making plans and giving the lessons for the students. The fact that the teacher has more time to spend with the students could make the teacher to be considered as the third parent for the students. In fact, teachers could be a perfect role model designed for their students, especially for the students that might have a lack of attention from their own family. In these present days, the role of teachers is significantly got modified and become more complicated from the previous days. The role of teachers are mentioned nowadays such as support the students to use the knowledge that they got into their lives, give the counselling for the students, and also motivate the students to adapt the learning techniques, and also inspire the students to learn as well (Niemi, Auli Toom, & Lavonen, 2018).

Your view of the current curriculum (the subject you intend to teach) (you can choose any subject)

            The subject that I intend to teach is psychology since I am interested in teaching on the behaviors of the people, along with the emotional operations as well. In my opinion, the current curriculum for psychology subject has been useful to teach the students and give them proper understanding about the occasions, how to treat the issues in mental health, matters around the employments, and also teach the students to improve their personal skills as well. The current curriculum of psychology has covered the certain important areas of study, including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and also the humanity (Keith, 2018).

Conclusion on the School

                 Teachers and students are two terms that are definitely cannot be separated if we are discussing about schooling and the purposes of schooling itself. Schooling has the purposes which aim to prepare the students to face any occasions in their future lives, and the teachers have a great role in motivating the students to get the proper education from schooling. However, the teachers also need to realize that every student are different as every single individual does not have the same mind, talents, or the same ability as well. Therefore, teachers must able to figure out the strategic plan and put in practice to motivate the students and give the best education for them.
