Think about what happens in so many towns after a student leaves high school. Not only does the local social life often stop for that student, it may even slow down for the students' parents as they do not have the same bonds to the community when their child leaves to find work wherever that may be. In other words, there is little or no knowledge integration at the local level of so many places where people actually live, beyond the educational system itself. That lack of knowledge integration in a direct and local sense is a big part of the problem. We are brought up to believe that we have a place to succeed but most likely it is not where we already are, and then everyone takes part in the race to find the magic place where one's life learning can actually be used. We need knowledge integration at local levels so that knowledge can once again be valued for what it actually provides.

Education was one of the basic needs oh human knowledge to face the world.
