The Purpose Of Education

Teacher : Mrs. The Text FB Kh We send our children to school to prepare them for the time they will have to work for themselves. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to benefit from what people in other countries have written and said. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in life. But this is not the only reason why they go to school. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school to learn how to learn.
