Oil dominates. Petroleum is involved in global trade. Oil is responsible for leadership, but the responsibility to produce petroleum wisely results in revolutions, war and that which defines history. Yet with all the importance placed on petroleum, teachers don't instruct students on the role of oil in school. Parents assume children will learn about oil by driving a car, pouring oil in the engine and pumping gas. This is irresponsible. There has never been a greater time for schools to teach the importance of petroleum.
