The Purpose of Education

What is the purpose of education?

This is a question that I often ponder and always come to the same conclusion. The purpose is to instill a love of education in students to establish lifelong learners. As a teacher, I would love to think that my students will be able to tell specifics of the Boston Tea Party 20 years from now, but I don't think that is a reality. It is merely an ideal. I believe that by creating a rapport with my students, showing passion for school subjects, and displaying how to be information literate using 21st century skills --my students will grow up to be active members of society and lifelong learners.
