An interesting aspect of education, one that our teachers should pay special attention to in their classes, is communicating important human values that are being neglected and ignored in favor of an education designed exclusively as a tool to find employment in today’s market. While finding a job is important, it’s also necessary to teach students human values, tolerance, independent and critical thought, in addition to the intellectual and academic training they receive throughout their education.

We simply cannot separate this part of the educational process from the rest when this particular element is what completes a student’s knowledge with useful values for society and the individual. In recent years, education has been misconstrued as a mere tool to achieve better social status, work goals, or greater economic benefits. This has been at least partially responsible for high dropout and academic failure rates, especially among Hispanics. We need to prioritize the human education of the whole person as a value in and of itself; math and history aside, the most important thing students can learn through their education is to think for themselves. This is what will make education the transmission of knowledge and humanity again.
