I'm still in secondary school in England and we have a lesson called PSHE (physical, social, health education) which is meant to teach you things like tax, parenting and other things like that. So I certainly think it's starting to get better, though there are still mandatory lessons for the first three years before you take your options.

[@vampirewitch2872]

we have that too in my school (from grades 1-9) and yet all we ever did in those lessons was learn nothing useful. last year (I'm in y10) we were told to write a freaking song for our best friend ._. like that was supposed to do shit. sure they act like they are trying to change the system but really in all my years of learning I have never once learnt anything about tax, how to help someone when they are in danger, how to take care of myself mentally and physically and how to cope with various mental disorders and illnesses. and if you look at it right, yes you get to pick which subjects you want to continue learning but it IS MANDATORY to take maths, at leas 2 science topics and English, all of which (especially english) are incredibly hard. i myself struggle with maths, chemistry and at times English, none of which i see of future for myself in (besides english cuz i like to write books) the system wont change until people who see the fault in it get in power, at least that's how far i see it, sure we can protest and argue but we do it with our schools, not with the people in charge of the actual syllabus, people who can alter. i of course can be wrong cuz i only know so much but i hope i got my point across lmao

[@undead_gaming]

We had that, but mine specifically was replaced with biology. I think we did one tax lesson, a few very basic human rights lessons (usually only on the education right in a very very basic form) and then watched a few videos on other cultures where the teacher would just sit back and watch like the students were.

I love my schools science teacher, she knows what to do when the kids are getting bored and she has a great personality/not yelling at everyone all the time. We not only need a change in syllabus but an evaluation of teachers so the ones that absolutely hate kids are not around kids and making them hate the subject.

[@Beat105k]

As a teacher myself I full heartedly agree with you. I often try to find loopholes in the syllabus to teach the kids things they actually want to learn about which is quite frankly pretty exhausting but even more so rewarding when you see the results. Sadly many teachers are disillusioned by the system after only a few years and stop fighting the system, quit or feel stuck and start to lash out at their pupils (also there are way too many idiots that are teachers).

[@RaqRedOX]

@@Beat105k I have an English teacher (I'm a Junior in highschool) and she honestly just does NOT deserve to be a teacher. She gets really upset like SUPER easily at a bunch of 16-17 year old's when they get chatty because she is the most boring and honestly idiotic teacher I know. She doesn't grade how she should but grades off her opinion and on how SHE wants US to be like. She wants us to be carbon fucking copies of her and be completely all knowing about what to do for things. With this, I already noticed it because I had the same amount of missing homework as other students (My fault for not doing it cause I was worried about the classes I actually liked rather than being bored for an hour doing homework) and the same assignments as others, Yet I had a 70% while others were at low 60's or 50's. This has not changed, The entire class I'm in is pretty much failing (some not just in that class so not blaming her for those few) but still. She doesn't deserve to be a teacher for high schoolers when she cant even handle teenagers. We get chatty when she's boring, she cant at ALL handle a couple swear words (I sort of understand but she is like an overbearing parent and will stare you down until you apologize or 'Fix' what you said and replace Fuck with Frick.) that are only few. I wish the main school system wasn't so shit and actually helped kids especially teenagers get ready for the real world. I'm learning Personal Finance at the moment which is about the only eligible thing there. And a few things that could earn me a job like Digital Media (Photoshop and such which I REALLY enjoy) and other computer / tech related things that I also enjoy. Other than that the school system in general is really bad if its like a Public school, There are schools that are good but most of them cost THOUSANDS to even get into and most people might not even have that amount to dump for their kid, especially my parents. We're no where near stable enough right now to do anything like that...

[@devilofcolor7004]

@@seriousgamer4202 Well i hope I may be that higher one. I’m still in 6th grade but throughout my little time in school I have influenced what our teachers spender the spare time on. In 5th grade I manipulated a teacher into learning us about what to do when some one goes unconscious or is suddenly dying, which I found out became useful because in the school yard a boy fell unconscious and because only one teacher was near it was hard because said teacher isn’t know what to do others than call 112 (danish version of 911) so a kid got the unconscious boy conscious again and then the abulnace came and genuinely saved a kids life. Now that’s what happens when the school system is flawed, and the teachers don’t give a fuck and don’t believe the kids. (Turns out the boy who fell unconscious had some serious nut allergies and the children he were close to ate peanuts, just the smell would make it hard for him to breathe)

[@Kiiltec]

I had the same problems. I used to be a "weird" kid , but supposedly was highly intelligent , but unfortunately a bit different. I had my own ways of learning , calculating maths and other things, but the schools I went to always tried their hardest to force me into "by the book" calculations and learning... while also presenting me with many topics I just simply wasn't interested in. Nowadays I prettymuch work in a workshop for handicapped people as I'm depressed af and never managed to get anywhere , despite supposedly being highly intelligent which was measured by all kinds of tests by psychologists when I was younger. I honestly never had a clear direction in life... and school sure as hell didn't help me get one but rather push me away from it. Granted it isn't just the schools fault, but it plays a big part in it... they are just in many cases massively underfunded and don't have the time or nerve to help spark the talents of every student and adapt to their quirks. I was also falsely medicated which made it worse but that's another story.

[@user-id3my6cr1r]

Dude, same here! I'm supposed to be highly intelligent when I was tested as a kid. When I was little people thought I would be the best and go to the best unis and stuff, because it was very obvious I did things much faster than my peers. However, because I went to a public school, even though I was finished with work, teachers never did anything. I developed the habit of spacing out and doing things slowly until I was only better moderately, not to a point of standing out, and only displayed the more noticable faster learning speeds when I did stuff outside of school. I distinctly remember I was moved up classes once when teachers finally decided to do something about my boredom, but I was terrified of the older kids and I performed really badly that lesson, so they moved me back. Now my less smart peers are doing better than me, I got a U in my A level end of year maths mock (i used to be good at maths before I kinda gave up and stopped concentrating at all) and I need support to learn. Thankfully I turned stuff around and now my grades are better but the damage is sort of done already. My concentration is terrible and my memory isn't even that good (do you ever consider yourself stupid even if you're moderately better than most people your age? Another thing schools do. They call you a genius, and when you do something thst isn't 'genius', you think you're stupid, even if you're still 'better' than the average person) I swear very intelligent kids get shat on by schools. Not all intelligent kids blurt out maths at age 3 and if intervention isn't made, you sometimes end up worse than everyone.

[@Kiiltec]

@@user-id3my6cr1r Unfortunately intellect comes with a very harsh sideeffect... One tends to observe and analyse much more , also getting a considerably more clear picture of ones surroundings and situation. This can be a good or a bad thing... If the people around you are pretty positive and supportive one can achieve a lot, if however the surroundings are toxic one gets affected heavily by it while also starting to "learn" the wrong things. Instead of spending brain capacity on useful stuff like a higher education and making a difference in the world one just ends up not giving a damn, as one can see quite clearly how rotten the world truly is at its core. Things like that can scar for life , especially if one feels constantly misunderstood or misinterpreted. Most of my "intellect" went into finding ways to not go batshit crazy :P It was especially bad in my case ... as I'm prettymuch an observer ... I observe and analyse ... taking things apart and looking at their core-functions and buildup. I unfortunately looked far too deep for my own good :P

[@user-id3my6cr1r]

@@Kiiltec Honestly, this. I don't think it's intentional, it just happens. Though being observant dosen't guarentee intelligence ofc, intelligent people are often observant. If you have an intelligent child who is placed in a toxic environment... Well. 😔 It dosen't even have to be an environment. Kids are kids, even intelligent kids brains sometimes aren't mature in the adult sense (like being able to enjoy cynical works without becoming a jaded cynic) I read a lot of adult books when I think I was way too young for it. My parents bought them for me so I read them. For some reason, a lot of books speculating about the futures of machines and artificial intelligence - oh, and also this quite old one which was scaremongering. That was a bad example lol but those sorts of books can leave a kid being paranoid amd way too cynical for his age. And idk even know why I get these vibes from a lot of classics, but you know books like the Clockwork Orange? (I didnt read THAT one as a kid thank god) Those can make an adult depressed reading it. They make the reader feel uncomfortable after reading them and generally kinda depressed and sad. Kids shouldnt be touching those, they may be intellectually capable of understanding what's happening and the different meanings and stuff, but I don't think theyre mentally capable of dealing with all the bad vibes. Maybe I'm not smart enough to be able to read books like that as a child and be able to learn life lessons while not being depressed? Maybe people smarter than me can do it idk, well, I can't. Not saying 'don't let kids touch classics'. Just be in a safe environment with adults when doing so. Also, when I say kid I mean kids around 6-7. Kids over 10 might be able to deal with it. Also, when books are your escape from being bullied at school, depressing and cynical books shouldn't be the ones to be turned to. I went so off tangent there. Hope that made a bit of sense and added something to the conversation.

[@awolfnamedcookie3919]

Based off of what my mom remembers, in the past like 50 years: science when it comes to cells at least was slightly improved and apparently they made the method of teaching math in like preschool and kindergarten so annoying that it made me cry as a little kid. (talking about how shiz school is when it comes to mental health, my mom never really said anything about this but based off her reactions it had gotten worse. Lot of text, don't read if you don't want to) It also either still offers shiz mental health handouts or that is a newer addition considering I remember when I broke bones in 1st grade they didn't tell my parents until my mom picked me up at the end of the day. The teachers also didn't try and help me up when I got trampled one time during recess, two other kids did after most of the other students when inside. Plus there was a time in 5th grade where we were being tested on our states and capitals for the 4th time in like 2-3 months and I knew I was going to fail it cause she only taught us them once in-between the tests. After that class while walking out I hyperventilated, got to my homeroom teacher, got half way towards the nurse, then blacked/passed out because I had an asthma attack. I was then put in a 'club' during my lunch period that taught us how to use an inhaler (we weren't aloud to carry them with us in school ._.) In 8th grade about half way through the year I started to get a weaker stomach to the point that if I ate ~1 hour before running I would throw up. At first the school tried to see if using an inhaler before gym would work (obviously didn't work). So I then stopped eating breakfast cause after that was homeroom and gym and that worked. However because that was only a few days after the school's method they thought they were correct then continued to make me use my inhaler right before gym. Even when I said that wasn't why it stopped.. I also found out like a week or two ago that my high school has a program for kids who harm themselves or have tried to commit. I found this out by over hearing a junior telling their friend to quite down before the teacher signs them up for it because they said that they want to die because of the math work. I had just learned about this as a sophomore. I'm not even sure if that is sad that it has come to that point or if it's a good thing that it exists. Not sure what the program does, just now know it exits and there is roughly at least 10 people in it.

I'm 17, and while I am nearly an adult, I find it really frustrating how a lot of the people in charge of our education, or essentially our lives until we start working(Not talking about parents in my case, but I know people who's parents are absolutely terrible people. Love you Mom and Dad), think we know nothing about the world, and yet, we are perfectly capable of debating the sh** out of them outside the classroom when all they can do is scream and rant. My government teacher has opened up the floor to us multiple times over controversial issues, and the discussion is far more constructive than half of the big news companies out there, and you say we can't think for ourselves? Hell are you on? I get that there are plenty of exceptions on both sides, but, I'm going to be honest, I find it highly unlikely that I'll ever use Calculus, or Physics, or Chemistry in my life, considering I want to go into Journalism and/or Psychology, but they were requirements for me because I already took all the low level classes, and we need a certain amount of time spent on different subjects to graduate. Please education leaders, redo the whole f***ing system, because it's wasting time for a lot of people, making them study subjects that they'll never use in day to day life for the most part, but not teaching us how to take care of ourselves physically, mentally, and financially. But no, because these same people are profiting off of the money we have to spend to get help when we struggle to do things like taxes, or cook, or invest, so why should they fix things? I'm in California, and I don't know about other countries, but the education system we have is broken. Sorry for the essay, but I had to rant a bit after hearing the song and this video.

I really hate the kind of logic some of those people had. "I learned in my school so that must mean that EVERYONE had this potential as well and simply squandered it and there is no other reason why people in different schools in different states or different countries should be whining about school because my schooling was great and that means everyone's is." No, that doesn't mean it at all. You were just lucky you had good enough schooling as well as several other factors that allowed you to have that useful education. Others aren't so lucky and get screwed over by the school system, learning things pointless to them instead of things they could actually use in their lives. That one guy Boyinaband showed on that TV show, what he said was also idiotic because he ignored other possible factors. Kids questioned the usefullness of what they were being taught and then became dead beats so that can ONLY mean they simply sucked at learning, right? Couldn't possibly mean that the things they were being taught were actually useless and didn't prepare them for life, making it hard for them to succeed and thus they unfortunately become deadbeats and drunks. Just because you succeeded, doesn't mean everyone else could the same way as you. There are various factors involved here and your school life won't be someone else'.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

MysteriousTomJenkins Also, the Google argument is rather stupid as well. "It's you're own fault that the people who are in charge of educating you and preparing you for life didn't do a very good job. You should just use google and the internet to educate yourself if you want to learn something so there is no reason to complain about a flawed system that SHOULD be responsible for teaching you the things you want to learn about and need to learn about to survive in life." Makes me think of the parents who complain about other things like songs, cartoons and videogames teaching their kids bad things when the person who should be teaching them is the fucking parent themselves. The internet is a good way to learn about things, not denying that but just because you can learn from it, doesn't mean the argument of a flawed school system is no longer valid. Schools are meant to teach you things and set you up to where you can survive adult life and make a life of your own, not the internet. If the school fails at doing that then it is a problem and it doesn't vanish if you decide to google something to learn about it. Learning valuable things from the internet should be optional, learning them from the place that should be the one to teach you should be mandatory.

[@JoshRichBJJ]

MysteriousTomJenkins In the bronx (the borough I live in) has a 40% drop out rate, which is better represented by 50% because all of the good high schools are attended by richer family. Which basically means the either you or the guy next to you will not finish high school. And I'm near the worst of it being that some high schools near where I live have dropout rates nera 75%. Now to my point, the best way to help schools that don't offer these things is to elect a representative who'll raise taxes to give to schools or lower class families. Changing the school system will not some how make the families who can't afford letting their children attend school be able to attend school.

[@nickv1212]

MysteriousTomJenkins Correct, it's not great for everyone but there are good reasons to learn various subjects. Schools should teach people how to live in the world as well but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be taught history, science, literature/english/writing/whatever, and math. TLDR the TLDR: They're necessary for everything in our modern world to keep working. The shitty outline that the educational system works on in regards to training for adulthood is that the indirect effect of going to school and doing well will prepare you for being an adult, which it doesn't really do. TLDR: They're necessary for a lot of things, history for understanding why everything is so shitty so we can fix things. Science so we won't take everything at face value and so we can better understand the probable research we'd be doing into various products we'd be buying that could kill us (we also need a general understanding of politics so we can understand that lots of things that are bad for us are lobbied and championed by politicians and doctors). Literature/writing so we can raise generations of creative writers who won't be writing shit like Scary Movie 8, trust me, you don't want to live in a world where everything is fart jokes. We also need it to give us a satirical perspective of the historical, present, and possible future world. And we need math because nobody wants to take it and it's central to everything we do. If nobody's forced to take a math class (or science class), it's highly likely nobody ever will, meaning nobody's gonna ever find out if they're capable of solving the inevitable internet problems we will face, or be able to troubleshoot your tech, or build the next big tech or make the next big medical discovery (like curing AIDS and cancer), etc. Our society will collapse if these subjects aren't requirements. Most people who become doctors, scientists, engineers, writers, etc. were inspired by their teachers or others in those fields, they won't be able to be inspired if they never meet those teachers or learn about people in those fields. So, we also need good teachers. History teaches us everything that was right and wrong in the past, we need current events classes to teach us that we're not that far ahead even though we think we are and it even allows us to understand the roots of the issues (if the class and curriculum is any good). Science classes give us a basic understanding of the various scientific fields which is essential for us to understand whether or not what we're being fed by various corporations is good for us. A good science class will teach you to question EVERYTHING and to never settle for answers without evidence. People who are atleast a little scientifically literate aren't easily swindled by the modern snake oil salesmen and they often will try to research the foods, dietary supplements, and various other health products that are constantly being shoved in our faces. People who aren't scientifically literate will just take it at face value and accept that those things will help them because an ad said that doctors approved of them. Literature, like history, can give us a perspective on the world that we wouldn't otherwise have. A good course in literature will introduce you to the great satirists and possibly the great political novels of writers like Mark Twain and George Orwell, allowing us to understand different aspects of society and its pitfalls in an entertaining way. The better we understand, the better we can work towards improving society. Side note, there's a funny joke about 1984, "I love 1984, I think kids should be forced to read it". I don't really think learning poetry and Shakespeare is necessary, but it's good that it's there since they serve as the basis for so many other things. Poetry and creative writing classes in general often get people to become interested in doing similar things for a living, and believe it or not, people get paid for things like that. Poetry leads to song writing, which isn't in the best state right now since lyricism is all but dead in the mainstream save a few artists (talking hip-hop here) and creative writing gets people to want to become writers for television and film. Basic math is a necessity, higher levels of math aren't required but it's good that we have access to it. This goes for every other subject as well, the fact that we have access to it allows us to possibly get into careers we'd otherwise be locked out of. People complain all of the time that "what is algebra going to help me with if I want to become a firefighter", well, it probably won't help you but your future isn't decided for you yet even if you think you know what you want to do. People change and our desired career paths or lack thereof will also change. The fact that you're learning it now, and hopefully you have a good teacher who's set a good curriculum and is trying to help you can set you up with a good future you didn't expect to see yourself in. Most people who become engineers, scientists, etc. didn't start out wanting to do any of that, they tended to be inspired by a teacher and/or they found out they had a knack for those subjects. You can't find out any of that stuff or be inspired by a teacher if the classes aren't a requirement and that would be as much a detriment as not learning the basics of adult life to you and society as a whole. Pretty much nobody wants to take math classes, imagine we didn't have to. Imagine how many engineers we'd have building things so our economy doesn't go in the shitter, or scientists (preferably with a good moral compass) to research the various solutions to our many problems ranging from cures to diseases to alternative energy, etc. We'd have virtually nobody in those fields especially since much of the teen culture revolves around "fuck school". I'm not going to lie, fuck school indeed, but I don't want to ruin it for everyone else because I'm a shithead literal deadbeat hypocrite. We need both core subjects and training for adulthood, but for some reason, we're focused only on core subjects. The reasoning is we'll figure it out like everyone else and we don't need to devote school time to it since school is indirectly supposed to make us become responsible people, the pillar of being an adult and that's not a very good base to start from.

[@celestematthews4357]

TheJoggingJolt I don't know how old you are, what country and or state you're from, but there is a flaw in your theory. Yes you are correct that all those subjects need to be taught. But what is the point? None of my adult children know anything about history. Especially my 22 year old. She doesn't know any firmer presidents, no wars, civil rights, the Alamo, nothing. Because our state governor came up with a standardized test called an FCAT that passing or failing determined if the students passed to the next level and it wasn't even based on a regular school curricula such as you speak of. So the teachers spent half the year, every year, tutoring on a test that maybe a third to half were capable of passing. The stress on the kids was unbearable. You had straight A students failing to pass on to the next level because they were so stressed out they were physically I'll and would screw up on only one section of the test and that was it. My children are extremely intelligent but each handle stress differently. Fortunately my son was exempt from FCAT, he wouldn't have survived them. 1st daughter did fine. Youngest, well, she stressed, I received a few calls from school, but she always passed. Until she was a sophomore, said screw it, and dropped. She was tired of useless classes and tests where she was bored, bullied, and didn't learn anything interesting. How many schools are like that today? And only the best "A" rated schools get funding, so all the C, D, &, F schools are left to rot in their own inadequacies?

[@JoshRichBJJ]

Celeste Matthews I don't know how old you are, what country and or state you're from but,I live in New York City, and in one of the less fortunate boroughs being the Bronx. Because you want me to better explain our school system I will. So New York City there are different kind of schools public schools, specialized high schools, and catholic schools (there are private schools but the system for them I doubt I need to explain). Public schools are public, well kinda because all the ones with a graduation rate worth to write home about are difficult to get into even if you're a good student and even then if you don't live in manhattan (a generally more fortunate borough minus a few neighborhoods) then you will have the chance of a fart in the winds chance of getting in and even when you do because all the good public schools are in manhattan you'll have a 1-2 hour commute on the subway when you're only 14. Tell me that's not crazy. Catholic schools cost money to get into and most base you on your grades to get in and while this may seem unfair many want you to be catholic. Hence the name many of the people in my area can't afford them especially when the closest one for me is 18,000 dollars a year and even if you get a scholarship you better keep those grades up because they can pull that away at anytime, and that can ruin some people. And now one of the weirdest ones the specialized high schools. These high schools are the best in the city and some the best in the state, they're technically public schools, and the only thing that gages whether or not you get in is the grade on the test called the shsat, everything else matters jack squat. So at first glance you would think that this is great for lower class families and for some yes, but because of how hard the test is it takes massive amounts of prepping to get into. Most lower class families can't afford it so despite the fact that these families are living right next to them they can't attend. This was obviously not a complete view of the system but I hope it's enough for you to understand. I will give you that from how you described it your school system needs changing but not close to the amount that the guy in this video wants. None of your children know much about history ok but you can't stop teaching history while it may seem useless in your everyday lives you can't be selfish because without history voters will be less informed history will repeat itself the fact that the school didn't teach it well enough could easily be contributed to my point. Tests are necessary no matter how you look at it because they're the way to look at a students grades with the least bias. But that said the difficulty of these tests by your accounts seem overwhelming and should be changed. But I don't see how that in anyway corresponds to this videos message being that they should stop teaching history and apparently 8th grade math. Compared to what he was saying your demands seem small and doesn't seem worth disregarding the education of lower class families just because of how difficult some of the tests are, but please enlighten me on how your problem is so gravely worse than there's and you should obviously get the spotlight. Please.

Im homeschooled but I've been in school for 5 (useless) years of my life. I learnt more in one year of homeschooling than I did in my 5 years. School made me uninterested in learning because I was forced to study things I wasnt interested in, and took away all my time with homework when I wanted to be doing my favorite things to do (writing, drawing, etc). Dont get the wrong message; the things you might not be interested in are important too. But you should be able to spend more time learning things you want than learning things you hate.

Being older now, I get your song's message pretty much better than before. Sadly enough things won't change in so many countries simply because of different traditions.

Then when we ask our parents they say "You're too young for this, we'll tell you when you are an adult", but then kick us out at that exact age with a good old "you'll learn in due time". So I still had to learn most of everything by myself.
