There is great value in education and there is great value in becoming educated. As a result, if we were to pursuit our education independently, through our own self-determination to become educated, we will come to realize the importance of pursuing independent education. As individual colonies it was agreed that it would be better to become an independent nation. From this we can learn that it would be better to become independent in our education. So how can we become independent in our education? How can we pursuit independent education? Here are three points which can help us pursuit an independent education:
- Don't wait to be taught, teach yourself.
"It is important that we receive formal education by attending schools and having the best teachers available present their knowledge to us, but we need not wait for us to be in the classroom waiting for our teachers to teach us in order to learn. We have access to a great deal of knowledge through the many technological developments achieved. If there is something which you wish to know about, search for it."
"Each one of us learns in a unique way. If we learn how we learn, we can facilitate the process of becoming educated in a more efficient way. From brain research, to audio-visual learning, to repeating the times tables over and over again, there are many different techniques and methods to learn and help us process newly acquired information. Find our which ones work best for you and make them part of your education process."
- Teach what you've learn, share your knowledge.
"Teaching completes the educational circle which begins when we are studying. We are taught so we can study, we study so we can learn, we learn so we can share what we know. By sharing what we know we can also contribute to the growth of knowledge. It is through educational publication and argumentation which new ideas are created."
By implementing these three points as guides in our educational pathway, we can develop some of the skills which can become beneficial to us as we become educated. Let's not wait to be taught and teach ourselves. Let's learn how we learn and become efficient learners. Let's teach what we have learned and share our knowledge with others. Let's become pursuers of independent education.

July marks the midway point of the year. Summer is here. We celebrate our independence. Education is in its off-season as students, teachers, parents, and administrators continue to prepare and plan for the next school year to begin. The national pastime, baseball, carries us through the summer as it began back in spring, when we were closing last school year, and it will end in the fall, when we are opening the next school year.
This July, MRCR Education will draw its inspiration for the blog posts from the theme of "Independent Education". Each one of us should be independent seekers of education. To take charge of our own education as we pursuit further knowledge for the betterment of ourselves and the benefit of others. It is with this thought in mind that we will be preparing the posts which will be published throughout the month of July.
