Some learn these skills with more facility than others, and so education also serves as a social sorting mechanism and undoubtedly has enormous impact on the economic fate of the individual. Put more plainly, at its best education empowers individuals with skills and substantive knowledge that allows them to define and to pursue their own goals, and also allows them to participate in the life of their community as full-fledged productive member in society.
Education is a very important tool for the shaping of individual lives and society. When a teacher begins to reflect on her role, an educator moves from preoccupation with immediately practical to an examination of the theory that underlies and sustains practice. Teaching requires the careful mixing of practice and theory. Theory without practice has no worth; practice unguided by theory is useless.
