Christians who believe the world is about it end: Do you think children should still be going through school?

If the End Times are now and Jesus' return is imminent, do you feel it's a waste of time and money for kids to be going to school and learning math, science, history, sociology etc?
It's it a waste of time to teach kids to drive? A waste of time to vote?
If you believe most of us will be dead and some of you will be taken up to Heaven within your life, what point is there in learning anything beyond how to be a good Christian?
Should you allow your child to read anything but the Bible?

Even if the world ends kids and people still need to live.
@Lostpoet

Well yeah but they won't need to know any of this shit we're teaching in school.
Paradise and everlasting life spent glorifying god.
Don't need to know your multiplication table or how to drive for that.

@Pikachu You'll need to learn how to adapt to challenges even if you're going to heaven there's certain things you can only learn on earth.
@Lostpoet

...what challenges are there in paradise?
What challenges are there in paradise that you'll learn to handle through the public education system?

@Pikachu There's always going to be conflict and the need of growth do you think there won't be learning challenges in heaven. (Assuming there is such a thing)
@Lostpoet
do you think there won't be learning challenges in heaven

Yes. That is exactly what i think and what is meant by paradise.
There will not be conflict or else it's not paradise.
There will not be challenge or else it's not paradise.
There will not be need for growth because you're a perfect being...or else it's not paradise.

@Pikachu I guess that's right
@Lostpoet

I mean who knows, maybe in Heaven you still have to work a 9 to 5, deal with your shitty neighbour and pay your taxes lol.
