Education is an extremely important yet often overlooked part of our society and one that has faced little innovation and development in recent years. This thesis covers the history of education from its early roots to its modern version specifically in the United States in an effort to uncover the reasons for why the system is the way it is now. The problems and purpose of education are explored to try and signal what issues does education have and what potential remedies are there. Finally Dialectic is offered up as a way of solving these issues.
