The education of our young is an obligation that society must take in order to continue advancing and making progress. In order to continue having high quality scientists, educators, politicians and others, society must continue educating and preparing students in such a way where they are ready to meet the challenges that the future will hold for their generation. As educators, we must continue helping students prepare for a future in which they will face problems we could not even conceive of. Students will need to be prepared in such a way where they will be contributing knowledge just to those around them, but to the whole world. A society that is uneducated will cease to contribute to the advancement of humanity.

Your comment of "As educators, we must continue helping students prepare for a future in which they will face problems we could not even conceive of." struck a chord with me. This is very true. Helping the students learn facts and solve problems now is one thing, but the world could be a very different place when they are adults. There are world issues that haven't been recognized fully by everyone, and it may be that in their lifetime the world will have to come to grips with it. For instance, are we doing enough to make sure we have enough water for years to come? Are we being environmentally aware and respectful to make sure future generations can live healthy lives?
