Why do we need education?
Cliche : To make us better human beings. ( My take: The educated man is more dangerous than the uneducated man )
Another cliche : To make us self reliant. ( My take: Aren't all of us self reliant already?)
Yet another cliche : To take better well judged decisions. ( My take : We take decisions first then try to rationalize them with the education that we have received)
and many more cliches.
To open your mind to various perspectives. Yeah! I believe this cliche.
Do we need to teach a poor child what a similar triangle is ? Or should we teach him how to make best use of resources he has ?
Education can be of many forms - farmer teaching the art of farming to his sons, a beggar teaching his son the subtleties of begging etc.
Floyd Rules -- We don't need no education*!
* Education refers to the dogmatic approach that we see in Schools today.
