Question

What is the purpose of an education?
What is the purpose of school?

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Could the purpose of school be to provide a place for loving mothers to send their children for 7 hours a day so they remain loving mothers? ;)

No one felt the need to respond after reading yours, Rebecca. It's because we all know it's true =o) (And you're a fabulous mom!)

Purprose of education: To make our children useful, contributing, responsible and respectful members of society.

Purpose of school: To hand them over to someone else who is trained in subjects we don't want /don't have adequate training in to teach.

I think most education takes place at home. Most "schooling" takes place at school. Thank heavens for public schools because it's the only place for some children to receive an education that they won't receive at home.
