Should "Philosophy be offered as a subject in our schooling system?

Have you considered how Philosophy was the backbone of a solid education in virtually all human civilisations other than the modern era?Why is this?What is the purpose of offering "History" as a school subject if the prevailing philosophies that directly impacted on the applicable period are not taught or understood, does this not amount to nothing more than "Parrot" education? Further to that, surely there must be room for Philosophy in the education system when considering a great deal of the absolute rubbish that has found a place in the current sylabus, especially in South Africa?
