The Current Education System

Damoz · 2012-03-29T12:27:17+00:00

I have noticed this over quite some time and thought that it would be something worth discussion. We spend minimum 10-12 years in schooling which is to prepare us for our "future lives" But what does a majority of the things we learn in school actually do for us. My science classes where redundant, maths was irrelevant past yr 7 level and english.... well who actually can say a majority of the work you do helps you in life. We are taught by the book learning procedures which will allow no way of thinking out side the box for most problems and often will loose you marks if you do not follow the book by the letter. Yes i do admit that it taught me organization and how to schedule my life. But 12 years (4 of them basically wasted) to learn this? It doesn't make much sense to me. Also we work hard to push our study scores up only to find that they are basically useless unless you were trying to get into one of the best universities in the country. Not exactly everyones aim to be perfectly honest. Where are the classes that could teach us money management, how to look for a job, how to present yourself properly for work, intuitive and other things WE NEED in order to survive in the real world outside the bubble wrapped environment of the school system. Alot of kids leave school completely unprepared for what the world is actually like, due to the ineffectual need to protect children from everything. It bothers me that the education system is basically turning out stupid kids who know next to nothing but have been brainwashed into believing that they know more than they actually do. Not sure if this is true elsewhere but it is something i have been thinking about.

I learned everything that i needed to know about USA schools in 6th grade. My jobs have been based on dumbness and fast profits for my bosses. Also Education means NOTHING when you CANT get the job you want and take less fun jobs.
My age proves that you cant win when you work at taco bell and use food stamps to survive. COLLEGE students here are also getting butt-pounded for hours too. The rich owns the poor.
