Martin Luther King Jr.: The Purpose Of Education

There once was a man named Martin Luther King Jr. who thought that education had many purposes. And sometimes he would say that not only education is enough but education plus character is a true goal for education. So here are three purposes in which I thought were important to the purpose of education. The first purpose is to furnish the student’s and teacher's important skills they need in their future.

My computer teacher told us to work on a special website in which it taught us about the economy and to work with finances, which will make an impact on my future goals.
The second purpose is to make students think more efficiently. When someone thinks efficiently, they think quick and intensively. I agree with

The way they could bring others down is by lowering their motivation by saying “ you’ll never be good as me” or “ why do you even try?”. These words could affect the person's feelings and that is what uneducated people do. I remember when I was in 8th grade, there was a kid who thought he was better than everyone else because he was considered the “cool” kid in our class. Since he was the “cool” kid, he never did H.W. and always disobeyed the teachers and principals. Soon enough, the principal decided to kick him out of the school because he was a student who caused trouble and was a menace to the students education.
So these were three important purposes of education in my opinion. Also, there are many more purposes of education, but I believe that the purpose of education is to improve yourself as a person and student and also help
