Public Education - Pro and Con

[TKramar]

Education for personal enrichment is fine--there's nothing wrong with pursuing it. But to say that all that education is going to relate to the job they do is another thing altogether.

[Pandamonium]

It is absolutely fine for you to go about your daily life and not participate in the world around you. I don't agree with almost all of your stances. However, to pretend that one does not need education based on what you have managed to get by with is not the measure.

[TKramar]

Who says I don't participate? I'm single, so I don't really have a choice in the matter. If I wasn't single, she would do all the participating for me.

I still don't pull out my knowledge of trivia in my day to day pursuits. I acknowledge that it's nothing more than trivia. It's nice to know, but isn't particularly useful, unless I'm playing Jeopardy! or Trivial Pursuit.
