Question

Why is education important these days?

Answer 1

Without getting good grades in school you can't go on to get a good job, therefore you won't be earning as much and therefore maybe not have as good of a life as you could with better grades. Also, the things you learn in school are applied in everyday life so that's why education is important.

Answer 2

Education is important because a knowledge is power.

However, education should not be confused with school attendance or grades.  Over 2 million homeschooled children prove this every year.

All the best.

Answer 3

I think high school is important. It teaches you common sense you will need in the real world, and skills that help a lot there too.

Traditional college is LAME though. Why do people have to take 2 years of generals and then start their degree. All they need is to learn about what their profession is. A pharmacist in training doesn't need to know how to disect a frog!
