Education is learning skills you need for the future. It's a preparation for the future. You learn in school so that you can be an educated person. Without school you can't be what you want to be for the future. Sure you can have a job, but with education you can have even a better paying job.

What education means to me is learning how to think and learning things that I have never learned before. Education is something everybody should receive in their life so that they can learn things that they are interested in and so that they could get a good job and knowledge. Also education should be fun because there is always something new that you could learn.

I think education is very important in life. Without education you can't succeed in life. When you grow up and you don't know anything, you're going to get a lousy job. But if you know what you want to do when you grow up and you know what you need to know you'll probably make thousands of dollars a year.
