Discussing Education

Education. Some of the things we learn we will not always be able to use later in life. Kids question "Why are we learning this?" The truth is we dont necessarily have to be a biology teacher because we are studying a little bit of biology. The reason behind this is to open us up to many new areas and we have the choice which to choose or seek them out if we show interest in one of them. The process of learning all these things at once too is to broaden our areas. We may not become experts on the subject at hand, but we have the basic jist or a familiarity with it. These also expand out mind. They test us mentally and physically. Studying and juggling schedules, learning to be responsible, all the while meeting new people and becoming part of the social world. There are many other things we learn beyond the point of numbers, names, dates, etc. My dad for example, studied business in college and recieved a degree in it. He is now a plumber. You don't know what will happen in life, and sometimes you just fall back into something and its ment to be. The point is going to school doesn't always cover the career we have in mind or the one we don't have in mind, but come across. School is there to provide interests and helps develop critical thinking skills.
