ANCIENT EDUCATION VS MODERN EDUCATION

As you can see, the latest critics affect directly to our education. Some people though that we would have a better one if it returns to ancient models. Others think that current system makes us being more intelligent. Although that, we think there are no perfect system; all of them have advantages and disagvantages but it doesn't mean thyat one is better than the other.

On the one hand, it is believed that one of them must be better than the other one, but you have already known that it isn't true. We have many advantages that ancient students don't have, moreover they also have some beneficst that we have lost by the time. Nowadays, we needn't pay for the books (as they are subsidised by the Government). We are free to choose whatever we want without church's intervencion. We also have inmediate availability of information, so we can look for it with a wide variety to choose. Formerly, they had more discipline at class (during our grandfathers' time, any noise couldn't listenned to by the teacher). They also have more serious teachers, who made no distintion so they used to exert themselves more than we do at present.

During the past, the books were paid by parents; they used to be taugh only to know how to read or write, there weren't more abilities to be developed. And they don't also have access to Internet, so their sources were limited. Currently, we have lost the interest, they try to make an igualitary system in which everybody can obtain a degree. Effort isn't valued now, so it doesn't make different if you studied a lot or not. Teenagers are forced  to be at school until 16 years although they don't want to study. We also use a vertical system of education in which the teacher always explains while the students might not be paying attention.

As we can see, both systems have its advantages and disadvantages. So the only thing can be done is trying to improve our system using ancient beneficst and other countries advantages. That is because education is one of the most powerful weapon we have
