Today, a university education is open to international students from around the world. Millions of students spend time and money in thousands of universities for different degrees. It means that education has value and is a highly regarded factor in many countries. However, every single one of us probably understands what exact meaning of education a little differently.
We go to school to prepare for the time when we grow up and have to work for ourselves. We learn our own language, so that we will be able to tell others clearly what we want, what we know, and understand what others tell us. Everything we learn has some practical use in our life. Those are the reasons why we do need to come to school, and I believe this level of education is enough for many people. Other people think that increased levels of education will open many opportunities for students. It is often argued that the number of degrees raises the status of the holder.
In my opinion, I feel that the truly of education is not with these degrees. There are many famous people who did not achieve high education such as Einstein, Bill Gates, and many other famous people do not have Masters degrees or doctorates. Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible. Education may cause changes in intellectual flexibility, leading to better skills in using and evaluating information. (Education: Losing its Value)Because of education, children may get sick. School causes some seriously health problem such as lacking carbon dioxide which is terrible in high school building, lacking of activities outdoor, wearing glasses, and the bodys system is weaker.

Private Schools Public Education School
Private Schools The first position of chapter three is supportive of private schools. This position feels that private schools prevent the public schools from having a total monopoly over education by offering the community an alternative choice. This choice also produces competition with public schools for student enrollment. This position views public schools as something a student must accept ...
In other point, Dr. Teresa Whitehurst says that you have to be careful not to get too much education, because you could lose your foundation, your core values, she also says that when you get a master’s, you can lose your values. (Careful Not to Get Too Much Education…Or You Could Turn Liberal).
She says that college students have to be watchful because if we get too much education, we could turn liberal. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life which means that we must be educated in such a way that each of us can do whatever job is suited to their brain and ability. We can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work or to scorn someone elses. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds or to continue with ones old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.
