Why do humans need to be educated?

Answer 1

Didn't know they did.....

Answer 2

I think the greater question should "who" is doing the educating and for "what purpose?" From my point of view, the educational system is solely designed to make sure that all citizens think alike so that they can be managed more easily, and become good consumers to support the powerful and wealthy. For instance, my grandson has just entered kindergarten where he is found wanting because he wasn't taught to do certain things. He is being judged by a limited criteria that does not value his quick and inquiring mind nor his bright and intelligent spirit. He is a square peg that is being whittled down to fit into a round hole--and I am greatly saddened. This is how the system operates--to make all students clones of one another; good, unquestioning people who "go along to get along." There is no room in the educational system for those who move to the beat of a different drum--to their own individual rhythm. These anomalies are cast down and cast out because they do not fit. I experienced the same thing with my son--he did not fit the "model" and never found a footing because his kind of intelligence was discounted. I prefer the concept of homeschooling, though it has its own pitfalls. But in the case of open-minded and encouraging parent-teachers, much value can come from allowing a child to develop at their own speed, following their own interests and joys. It is a heartache that all children are required to be corrupted into a suffocating system. As to whether humans "need" to be educated, I cannot help but think that the world would be in a much better state and much, much further along if all were allowed to creatively follow their own bliss.

Because we're all born with blank brains. Without any education, we'd all be idiots. Many of us are idiots anyway, but maybe our education system just sucks. Besides, a human without an education tends to leech off society, not contribute to it. Keep in mind education can be earned without the help of schools.

Answer 4

We need to educated so that we will understand life and be able to live a more fulfilled life of knowledge. Life is full of knowledge, why be ignorant? To know right from wrong and why we receive punishment and reward, that is why God educated us.

Answer 5

to make life easier..to communicate....and for many governements to work properly. With our education we invented electricity and made life easier for billions of people. we have a desire to be lazy. Would you want to wake up every mornig traveling dozens of miles hunting for food for just one meal? no, you wouldnt. you would rather sit on your couch and have a bag of patato chips.Communication is another reason y we need education. Communication unites nations and connects people. And without education many governments wouldnt work. Cause for democracy to work the people must be educated.

Answer 6

Humans have set out on this quest to quantity and categories our surroundings in relation to our self and everything. This might take awhile.

Answer 7

So we don't have to relearn each time how to not get eaten by tigers and how not to freeze in the caves.

Answer 8

We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.
