Education is a philosophy within itself without even responding to the different categories of a student 's learning day. English education is, in my opinion, kind of a shady subject. When one talks about their English class, what aspects are they talking about? Is this referring to the grammar sections, the vocabulary sections or the criticizing of novels? Through the use of grammar a person can increase the way others perceive what they are writing. In my opinion it is not the way something is written that is important, but the content of what is written. Vocabulary is another such device. It is said that a person can feel only what they can express. In other languages around the world, there are words that put more emphasis on the same word. For example the word love, in the English language means one thing. Wether it is toward a mother or toward a spouse it has one meaning. Now is the love you feel for a mother the same as for the love you feel for a spouse? No, and in other languages there is a difference between these two emotions. If a person cannot express the way they feel how can they feel this way? I feel vocabulary is an asset that needs to be cultivated in order for a person to evolve into an educated person of society. The other aspect of English education however is not as particular as the other two. The analysis of literature is in itself a whole philosophy as well. It is a way for a person to open their mind into different thoughts that would not have been open to them otherwise. The idea of group leaning is for different ideas and interpretations to be presented. I believe this is a main part of English education.

I believe the purpose of education is to better a persons life through knowledge and assist them later in life. Education is a vital part of anyone 's life. Without it a person could not get a job and make it in the real life. I believe however that teachers must keep in mind that one 's education is up to the individual student. A

Well, you don’t make anybody greater by making them less.” This, rather offending statement, by José Angel Gutierrez, a civil rights leader, shows what problematic topic bilingualism remains is in the US. Going back to the 19’Th century this paper deals with the Official English Movement, which aims to proclaim English as the sole official language of the US. Furthermore it describes the effects of that intention on bilingual education in the US from the 19’Th century until today. Which leads to the thesis that: The Official English Movement, even though not achieved its aim, has affected the education system of the US sustainable.
