Education Then Versus Now... The Schoolmaster
...is it really any different? In the 19th century the answer to a question had to be attained right there, right then, in that very moment, in the classroom from the teacher. The parent and/or student acquired the teachers ear before school started, during class time or at the end of the day. Back then answers to the teacher's questions were accessible ONLY in person. That was okay because the teacher and parents had a relationship; they were both part of the same community. They lived in close proximity to one another. Like then, education mirrors today's society; we are no longer confined to the one room school house of old, rather we have access to every classroom in the world. The educational community in the 21st century is the entire world because of technology. Today we are accustom, like those in the 19th century, to having access to answers from teachers but now those answers can come in various ways and from various sources. Answers to educational questions need not only occur in class; they can be gained on-line. From century to century there are two main constants. First, relationships between students and teachers in education back then, as well as today, are the cornerstone to successful education. Second, the main objective of education remains the same; inspiring and preparing students to be quality contributors to society in the future. Here rests the purpose of this web page and service... to assist EVERYONE in these two endeavors. Askteacherz is the place to gain help in school, collaborate to gain answers to our educational questions, share lessons and ideas and, as a parent, obtain further insight into the world of education from an educators perspective.TOGETHER we can all inspire and prepare the next generation to make the world in which we a live a better place for them and their children.

Teach Others to HELP Those in NEED!
 Compassion for Others
One of the most important attributes learned in life is compassion. Abraham Lincoln once made the remark that "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." If as educators we are held to a standard that most other professions are not. The young minds of our nations future look to us to guide them not only in words but in deeds. Tragedy is constantly rearing its ugly face in our world. It is, however, through tragedy that we as a people gain our strength. As such we can all demonstrate care for others by following our past President's belief that from within our classrooms we will provide that initial spark to our students as to what the republican ideals of our country stand for and ensure that "... that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Be that person that inspires others to help. Sometimes standing up, being heard and getting other to join hands in accomplishing a common goal is not popular but when it comes to caring for others there is little room for popularity. Together humanity can overcome any obstacle and the United States of America has always carried the torch in such endeavors. Help the American Red Cross or the Save the Children foundation to help others in need.
