Reflection 10

A teacher in a way is the giver a life. The amount of knowledge that they install in you if they do it correctly can change your life forever. So when I read " The teacher is the gatekeeper" I completely understood.
What i believe is this saying means it that the worl is filled with so many things and even if you have been to every place in the world just readin gabout broadins your horizon. Until you actually recieve an education you only know the things that your parents, family, surroundings and society has taught you. When you step into a class room it's like your intering a whole new world. The teacher holds the key to your mind they unlocked your mind to everything in the world. Even though you physically mature your mind may not mature especially if you dont put new information in there so that can be possible.
Teachers give your mind the freedome of progress to challenge something outside of what your surroundings. Your lessons dare your you to be curios and ask questions about things that you were taught to be againsts. Teachers in a way give you a peice of your identity because once your are educated you will never be the same person because you know the difference between right and wrong and the difference between a gues and well thought out disision. Education is power and teachers provide students with education there for they are the gatekeepers not just for education but for the students life.
The impact of this state ment can also mean that they determine who goes in and who comes out but assuming that everyone who goes in never come out I asssume thaey means who they keep out. Certain people shouldn't have education because they may have evil intensions this may have applied to the earlier civilizations because everyone now is intitled to an education here in the U.S. But I agree with this statemnet completey. I enjoyed reading something that had such substance.
