Elementary, middle, and high school. not to mention college.
I've thought about this a lot. I've come to conclude that it's not about learning the themes of biology, or the properties of angles, or the forms of parody. It's about leanring to socialize and integrate successfully in the world. What do you think?

You're right...it's not really about learning those subjects...it's about building your character...because character makes the whole you...you may have all those information in your brain but if you don't know how to apply/use it, all those studying would be useless...

Education helps you get a job. It's not so much what you learn when studying, but rather showing your future potential employer that you have the ability to learn.
When you start any job, they will give you training to do the job and you will hardly use the stuff you learnt at school/varsity. Chances are though, if you did well at school, you will quickly grasp the things they show you at work - which is what comapnies want.
It is important though to learn the basics at school. An engineer will still use knowledge of angles, a reporter will still use knowledge of parody and a vet will have to know about biology. School gives you many options in many different fields which will allow a person to make up their mind as to which direction they would like to follow. For example, if you enjoy maths at school, you will likely to want to study further as an actuary.
I also agree with you that school is an important part of learning to socialise and develop relationships. Kids should spend time with other kids so as to have friendships which will allow the person to be able to integrate in the real world.
Plus, there's also the reason of it gives kids something to do instead of sitting at home the whole day wasting their time on video games and TV.

Well both, really. The stuff you learn in class is just as important as what you learn at lunch break don't you think ;)
I wouldn't mind ending up working in a fast food chain my entire life, as long as I was happy and I had a college diploma. I just, you know, need to prove to myself that I can do it, it doesn't matter if I end up using the actual diploma or not.
Going to school makes you able to think by yourself, which is the most important thing there is.

i know that its not just the education that employers are looking for. they want to see if you had the discipline to continue school. i think if they see that you went to college and got a degree, they figure you will probably show more initiative than someone who didn't continue there education

It's about learning how to think. "Learning to socialize and integrate successfully" can be quite the opposite.

It's also about options. How can you know what interests you without taking a little taste of each?

Umm, no. You need some of that stuff they teach you.

I think the more you know the bigger double jeopardy you can wager.
