"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?"-George W. Bush
Education is the process, whether in a formal setting or not, of teaching skills and knowledge. It is most familiar in the schooling of the young, but continues throughout life.
Academic performance correlates most closely with the amount of time kids spend on homework.
The United States has a socialized education program, though there are smaller, competing "private schools" within the country. While it has been the establishment for some time, many have argued against the merits of government run programs. They argue a free market education system would be more fair, and allow competition for what truly are "facts."
