1. Introduction
The current education system, at its core, is designed to reinforce hierarchy, status, and obedience in a free-thinking population. A majority of the problems humanity is plagued with including poverty, crime, and unemployment, babies out of wedlock, diseases, wars, ethnicity, racism, and climate change are part a consequence of lack in the education system. For humanity to progress and prosper as a whole, the current system must be broken down, and an order needs to introduce that reinforce equality, encourage wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.
i. Topic Context
Personal experience, why I decided to write about this and what I’m going to talk about: As an adult, I’m learning from mistakes that could have been prevented with knowledge. I’m looking around me, and many of my peers are experiencing the same thing. Debt, health problems due to poor eating habits, negative thinking, poverty, crime, just to name a few. A lot of what I learned in school wasn’t relatable, so over the years has been forgotten. I think there is knowledge that could be gained from school and not just memorizing and forgetting. Often, we hear what “employers are seeking”, not enough “what will you seek as an employer”, “making you more attractive to potential employers.”
For example, adopting teaching methods from more advances countries such as teaching another dominant language from elementary school all the way through high school. Spanish is almost as common language as English here so why not incorporate it into our education system? our country could reach significant success by raising bilingual citizens.
Thesis Statement
Although the education system has improved, there are still some changes I’d like to see. The education system still is a lot to be desired in the 21st century. Such as learning residual income, the ins and outs to taxes, why we pay them, who pays them and how much. The current system has inhibited the growth of our country by not adding life advancing courses such as finances so we know how to file taxes or the importance of our credit scores, health so we know the affects or positive and negative thinking and how eating habits affect our health, or teaching future instead of history so we less focus on the past and create better futures. These are changes I’d like to see in our education system. The education system should not promote inequality and status distinction like the current education system is doing, but the education system must encourage behaviors that bring positivity.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. “ Free public schooling has long been the primary engine for social and economic health and for individual social mobility. America’s economic, social, and moral strength still depends on it. As the culture changes, the shape of “public education” should change with it, but in a way that always keeps the public in “public education” secure.” P. XVII – XVIII Glog about Many Children Left Behind

14. Our Thoughts The book was a great look at the many flaws that the NCLB has some possible solutions to the problems that the law creates. It was depressing to know that as of yet, there is not a workable solution to remedy these flaws. This book is a great book to read to get a better understanding of what many schools face and the hurdles we must overcome as educators.
