Discussion essay on education

Nowadays education is one of the most important topics that are discussed in our country.
Politicians are talking about changing some laws on education but the changes never come. I also think that changes never come because they aren't good enough. We should spend more time thinking about children and people who receive education, and not only about political issues.
There are some questions on discussion about education that are: if compulsory education should be extended up to eighteen, or if it should stay the same up to sixteen, and another, if compulsory education should start before 3 years of age.
As regards, about the first debate I think that compulsory education should stay the same up to sixteen, and have optional education to eighteen. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that they don't want to study, and if we make them study we might create a bad atmosphere for people who want to study.
As for the second question, it seems to me that early education must be carried out by the family, therefore I think that starting compulsory education as soon as you born isn't a good idea. When you are so young you need have contact with your parents.
From my point of view, we should spend more time improving the education levels that are already compulsory than spending time thinking about elevate or decrease the ages of compulsory education.
Talking about the news on education there are some issues to comment on too, like the introdution of laptops in classrooms and ICT.
Some traditional people think that ICT will eliminate traditional school tools such as books, pencils, blackboards … but they don't think that these things don't eliminate anything, they only help to improve our education. What's better? Drawing on a piece of paper or on a virtual blackboard? I think the second one will help new generations to integrate at our new world of technologies.
On the other hand, there are people and teachers who are enthusiastic about new technologies, like me, and they think that one advantage is that children are so clever and they learn so fast how to use new technologies. Nevertheless we have to pay attention to children who have problems of learning because they require more time to adapt to new technologies.
Not only ICT and laptops help us in education, the Internet does too. Internet is a useful tool if you know how to use it.
To sum up, when I start to work as a teacher I will have to work with new technologies, and for me they aren't disadvantages for devoloping education, they help to improve our education as I have already said before.
