Mainly focused on the relationships between societyÕs inputs into schools and how they affect the outputs of that schooling. After hearing several explanations I couldn't help but try to come up with my own. The first thing that pops into my head when talking about education is learning of course.

However, throughout all of our schooling we're learning beneficial concepts that have tendencies to show up sometime in our future.
