How important you think education is.

Education is so important.  It's not just having a degree that matters, but the experiences you have in the classroom and on campus.  School for kids at a young age encourages reading and cultivates good social relations with their peers.  Honestly, a lot of how I deal with other people has to do with what I learned in kindergarten.  I realize now how a lot of what we learned throughout elementary and middle school prepares us for how to deal with classes after public school and in the workplace.  Getting along with others is so important, and school helps kids learn how to deal with people, especially the difficult ones.  Really, I think the social skills we learn in school are way more important than the actual book material.  For any job, you'll end up learning the job-specific tasks.  Being agreeable and "playing will with others" is something no one can really teach, it's something you learn by actually doing it.
