Education

Education is simply knowing what you are taught in school. We may not need to know everything that we are taught, year by year; however, the general ideas that we are taught are useful in the real world. As we progress in the education system, we narrow down the subjects we are taught in order for us to be well educated in the career we have chosen to follow. With that said, I think it is important for the educators to decide what we are taught. In college, the professors are the ones who have gone through the courses, and know what is important in the job world. They are the ones who know what is important, and what is just in the textbook to explain in smaller detail.
