Education in the simplest of truth's is basically the ability to impart one's wisdom to others. It is the best weapon in a word that demands survival of the fittest. You may never have the brawn's to be the strongest creature on this planet, but with the strongest brain and the knowledge to comprehend how things work, who say's you need to? Let's take a look at the Spartans. Some people think that they were just a group of muscle head's who did nothing but fight all the time, but their society prospered because of their great education system. Think about it, at an early age they sent their sons away in the wilderness to an all boy's boarding school. The board of education system was so hardcore that the boys had only two options; graduate or die. I think it's safe to say that all of their soldiers were highly qualified. In our society anyone can join the Marine's or U.S.Army without having gone through the rigorous training courses the Spartans went through. Education is the key to our survival, and if we dont take advantage of this gift we'll find it hard to be successful.
