Innovators and The Real “Makers” of Education
As a student and seeking a career in the teaching profession, information such as this motivates me to pursue this noble position. I can see now why the rise in home schooling and charter schools are gaining popularity. The education and training of faculty and staff of public schools has never been more urgent. Ironically those things that have been created to do harm for our children can be used a tool to redefine education. Like Brown and the other 12 Topeka families they possessed the courage and strength to stand against a systemic dynasty that threatened their constitutional rights as people and citizens of the United States. The Brown vs. The Board of Education case allowed not only African Americans to access equal education but paved the way for the diversity of students and educators we see in place today. Even more intriguing is Henry Ford’s creativity and gift to generate assembly lines and mass produce automobiles in America that led to factory jobs for Americans. With little to no education people could take care of their families and retire from production companies and factory jobs with benefits.
The innovators are those who felt a desire and purpose to enhance the lives of families and citizens economically and socially through training and education. The “makers” proved that centralized schooling isn’t necessary to create brilliant, intuitive thinkers and dreamers who can globally impact our world for the good of human kind if given the opportunity to do so. Brown and Ford are examples of what great and magnificent accomplishments can happen if you have the courage to go against the grain and stay focused on the mission at hand because once it’s succeeded all who are willing can benefit from your ingenuity!
