The Source of Access

In my paper on the relationship betweenaccess and education I argued that class is the major deciding factor in how much and what kind of education one gets. But as I was writing my paper and reflecting on Thursday class's discussion I came to the conclusion that no matter what kind of education one gets 'too much' of a good thing can be a bad thing. Whether one takes the path of formal education, etc. one can go too far down on either path and becomse cut off from the rest of the world. An education gives access to a range of opportunities bases on what kind of education one is given so perhaps the real question is, when does education become detrimental to individual and when does it become detrimental to society?

The relationship between access and relationship

As I reflected this week about the relationship between access and education, I thought a lot about the balance that needs to be maintained between academics and life. Access to education is achieved by not only being smart but by also having the resources needed to maintain schooling. Poor and rich people get different educations, but not everyone gets the same education. Your access to education is not the only thing that makes education, it is your approach to it. If you don't appreciate it- all the access in the world won't do anything. I am definitely lucky to have access to education and reflecting on the fact that I've gotten both experiential and academic learning, I feel blessed!
