Education, what is it good for?

This guys point is very insightful. I argee with most everything he said. I think it's too bad that we go to school for 14 to 16 years and when we get a job they have to train us anyways, defeating the purpose of all that schooling. Obviously, schooling can't hurt and may be critical for occupations such as a doctor or a lawyer. But for a cop, salesman, or a recptionist, they should be able to get by with a short training course spcefic to that job.
Also, i agree with him that the most important education is taught in the younger years, and the best form of education is learning humanity before math, etc. If child is taught something at a young age, they are more likely to learn it easier and it will stay with them for longer.

  1. I agree, I think highschool should be more focused...you should be able to learn specifically about what you want to do with your life.
