This video describes why an education is important as well as the many purposes of an education. Some of the reasons that an education is so important is that it helps prepare students for college. What is the purpose of education? If you ask the students, many of them would say it’s a waste of time. The fact of the matter is…. Student just don’t understand why having an education is so important. The most common answer your students would say is that getting a good job or career is the main purpose of an education. Yes, getting a job is one reason an education is necessary, but as teachers, we must provide our students with other reasons as to why an education is so valuable to today’s youth. When students value their education, they have a better chance at achieving academic and life success.

One of the purposes of an education is to develop critical thinking in our students. Critical thinking will help students solve problems, design plans, and create solutions. You won’t be able to navigate through life if you’re not able to think through and solve life’s issues.

Students learn rules and regulations at schools. Rules actually provide emotional stability and physical safety to children. Rules guide students toward the proper actions to becoming fully functional citizens.

You acquire knowledge through an education. Children in school should begin to understand more and more about the world around them, as they master subjects like chemistry or understand how society got here through history.

Math, for example, is an essential component of many of life’s activities such as counting objects, managing money, cooking recipes, shopping, calculating tips, and so much more.

Education leads to the development of communication skills. Leadership and communication go hand in hand. It would be hard to find an effective leader or manager that lacks effective communication skills and strategies.

Studies show that as children successively pass, succeed, and graduate from school, they become more confident. And being confident will help a person take on life’s challenges and form relationships with others.
Perhaps the greatest function of an education is to develop a child’s ability to read. Imagine how difficult it is, for someone living during the information age, to not be able to read. The term reading survivability, best describes the value of reading.

Lastly, schools are a place of socialization, where children interact with each other, so attending schools, will increase socialization skills, which corresponds with an increase in mental health and wellness. It also leads to fun.

Which kind of education is important? Education to be a collector of information that somebody just told you, education to be a critical thinker, Education to be a slave ……….. it will be great to have education that enables a person to think for themselves not to just sit there and absorb information with the inability to ask any sort of questions…..

School doesn't teach you how to think critically but instead instruct you to write what they tell to do "memory training

Was this paid for by the board of Education or the government? because often times the end result of people is 1.) they suck at communication even with 4, 6, 8 year degrees. Many/most don't care for debates or different perspectives. Critical thinking and building character? thats subjective. Most people who take the college approach find work, invest majority of their time into 3 categories. Work for 1.) Shelter 2.) Food 3.) Children. It's not inherently wrong, but if that's critical thinking whats the difference between that and cavemen? because you work for a company thats making peoples lives "better?" subjective. I'm a little stuck on "building character" I was an uber driver and constantly picked up college kids and many of them have behaviors of barbarians. On college campuses across the US when people tend to have differences of opinions college children turn barbaric many don't care or know how to debate in a civil manner.
