Quote: I wonder if we have ever asked ourselves what education means… what does this so called education mean.?

American society in my opinion has created a totally erroneous concept of education. The way in which society has made created the education system completely throws off the importance of education since there is so much corruption. Not because one person could not have the funds to possibly attend college or graduate from high school, one is dumb. No, completely wrong because life experiences can at times teach you more important daily skills than school do. If education was equal and free for all we would not have this ongoing issue of inequality because we would all be on the same level. No one would feel left out and uninformed because we would all be somehow educated on the things that actually matter in life. If education was attainable by all there would be equality but unfortunately is not. So what is really the point of education then.? is it for us to become better individuals or just simply societies way of influencing or is it just for the fact that if you succeed in college you will become wealthy, and obviously this not being necessarily truth as one will not become rich just because u succeed in college. Education and this whole U.S educational system is wrong, they seem to put a lot of attention on those schools that have good standings but they neglect schools in for example inner suburban cities where there is a lot of poverty. The 1% of America and the wealthy people are strongly and constantly bringing minorities’ people down through education. this is I believe still a form of racism because for the most part the people attending private institutions and big name universities are Caucasians. And in a smaller scale a form of present world segregation.
