Essay #4: The Pretense of Our Education
Lately I've been looking back and debating with myself and others the relevance of our grade school education. Those who'd rather not fix something not blatantly broken, read no further. Those who constantly tweak and improve the state of this world, continue on.

That's why it saddens me to consider that my parents mis-invested their time and money educating me in the traditional fashion, throwing me into high rank schools. Before my crit, I'll give in that our education system is good in that it exists, is established, and is respected. That much alone is uncommon.
