Is the goal of our education system to prepare our children to enter the job market? Does our current system meet those goals? An argument can be made that our education system fails to meet these goals and changes are dearly needed. Our education system has become outdated and too expensive.

Science is unlike any other subject. It not only requires you to think but you must also prove your ideas. So, you must not only know the definition of science, you must take the time to learn the process of science. The scientific method was created by early philosophers to help separate the serious natural philosophers from the magicians (con artists) and philosophers.
