Education in Life

As parents we often say that we want the best for our children, and as parents we should. We send them from an early age to school everyday with the hope of them receiving a good education. In the beginning of this educational process they learn the basics such as reading, writing, math and so forth.As they continue through this educational process they begin to study such things as history, science, and algebra. Certainly, it is important to understand the basics of science,art, mathematics, history and the like. This is not an argument against any of that, but rather it is an argument for a properbalance in the training they receive that is supposed to be settingthem up for life!The majority of all children attends public schools that more or less follows the same curriculum. As a one time student myself I often think about all the things that I was taught in school and I would honestly say that over 50 percent of it has been useless in my adult life.Parents I encourage you to realize that if you really want your children to properly be prepare for adult life, don’t expect the school system to be their preparers. As a parent myself I now see how I fail my children in their preparation. You know that in the USA there are more poor people that finished high school then any other country in the world.So what would that say about just receiving a high school education? I know many people would say that this is a argument for higher education institutes, but in reality 4 more years of education still won't prepare our children right, it might assist them in finding a job. But honestly most students cannot afford to attend college and by the time their minds are fill with the useless stuff that is being taught in high school wouldn’t have the desire to attend if they could afford it.In conclusion let me say that the USA was built and is mantain on the way our educational system works, so do not expect it to change from it present state. If you want the best for your children it is strictly up to you.
