[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and decided to invest in an elite school for my child who is majoring in the arts. In my grad school for education, we learned there are 4 reasons for school: 1) To make people employable (economic) 2) To teach people things they need to know in general (how many states there are, who Shakespeare is...rote learning-like Jeopardy facts) 3) To help people become "good" citizens of their own country (patriotism/citizenship) 4) To develop lifelong learners. (philosophical) If you think about the schools you went to (or the major you selected) it could probably fall into one of those categories. Heavy on the #4 in our house (but it requires sacrifices and risks to make it happen). [/quote]
