Abstract
What’s the goal of education? Career preparation is surely a part, but there’s certainly more to it than that. While the purpose of schooling is a topic worthy of discussion and debate, you’ll likely find a reasonable degree of agreement regarding the importance of teaching young people the skills and knowledge necessary for things like informed decision making, productively contributing to society, and civic engagement.
