your future employer wants to know if you are qualified For the job in terms of education. So you need a diploma of some sorts. For getting a diploma you need to pass the minimum requirements. Thats the entire problem. we should change the other end of education. The employer. Let employers do certain tests of your knowledge instead of looking at a piece of paper.

@@BrickMediaStudios that literally makes no sense, someone can still be employed as a manager for a computer manufacturers company when his previous job was a manager of a textiles manufacturing plant. If you were to create tests for interviews for specific jobs they'd be highly inaccurate and fail people who are fully qualified for the job they just need to learn a few new things or it can pass people who aren't even qualified at all.

Fr there is no reason to have kids do work after school ends. Half of the homework teachers give is just either something extra that's completely useless or a straight repeat of what they did in class. It's especially stupid because kids are only learning things for CERTAIN future jobs. Science, math and even history are useless unless younwant a job about it yet kids are all still forced to learn it. I understand the need to learn to read, write and do basic equations but after 4th-6th grade everything you learn is useless to most kids.

I couldn't agree with this more. Personally, I was always bored in school. My teachers were boring, the subject matter and how they went about teaching it was boring. Outside of sports, I absolutely hated high school. It wasn't until my 30's that I became someone that enjoyed learning. I study anything that peaks my interest and I always feel fulfilled once I have packed my brain with the knowledge I was looking for. These are things that I wanted to know. Things I learned for myself because it interested me, not because someone, somewhere thought it should be forced into my brain as part of a curriculum. I think in school, they trick you into thinking that you will learn the things you want by letting you pick some of your classes. Then they sneak a bunch of stuff onto your schedule because "If you want to go to a good College, you will need this and this and this." Etc. By the time you walk out with your list of classes, you are taking 1 credit worth of something you actually think you will like, and the rest of your year is spent learning the things they lie to you about needing to know.

Wait, you guys are picking classes? I have obligatorily almost 16 classes in high school (to be fair, it's a technical school) I, and other from my class and the whole country, doesn't like school as it is. We have to memorize stuff only for exams and loads of homework. I mean, some stuff we actually will use, but most of them? Nah. Here at Brazil, students basically never learns English and most of school time we spend in the verb "To be" and whatsoevers, maths everyone hates, simple as that. Portuguese... Is kinda the same thing for you, Americans, British, etc, teachers always want to look for meanings and interpretations of our culture, literature and a bit of the past of the world. And the rest is just the rest, we lose a little more than a third of our day at school. The cycle is this: wake up early(some around 4 and something at the morning), go to school and stay 8 hours there, memorize or just forget instantly things most will never use, go back home, do chores and when you see... You barely have any time for shower or something fun, that if you're not busy with the complex homework we get. We have weekends as normal(sometimes we have to go to school at Saturdays). To be very honest, we have some good teachers that actually teaches fun stuff to us (some which is very useful for our future). About myself, I had a genuine interest in English since I was around 8 or something, and I actually got really good at it with (almost only) videogames. I do have some easiness with classes that doesn't involve much math and/or complicated equations. For last, I do want to try more, but I don't feel the will to do so, for many reasons. In short, school doesn't work because the base is weak, teachers are underpaid/unprepared to teach in a way we feel happy WHILE learning, and that students already come to school like.. well, that bad stereotype of bad behaved kids and teenagers. Honestly, the school system need to be remade from the start, but there's a part on the social culture of some places too. I may be speaking some nonsense, but a good part of this is true.

Or reading a map when you get lost and your phone is dead etc. Learn what you can in school don't ignore it or you will be very out matched in the real world when it comes to intelligence.

As Mark Twain once said,"Don't let schooling get in the way of your education." Schooling is just a formality, education is life long.

[@natutz]

When I was in college all we did was drinking! Almost everynight we're going out lol. Luckily, some of us are responsible enough to get high grades and graduate. That's what I miss when you talk about school. I'm from the Philippines by the way.

[@connorboyle2585]

Coming from the "being forced to learn trig is a good thing" short to this is fucking hilarious. I'm sure there's tons of context missing since it's two tiny clips from longer interviews but them being back to back for me is just really funny, especially since my school forcing me to learn topics I had zero interest in (which in my case literally was trig) over topics I actually cared about killed any interest I had in my education at the time and still makes me angry when I think about it to this day.

The pressure of just getting grades and being given hw that takes hours after an already 7 hr school day made it unenjoyable. Thats like doing a 50 hr work week except you dont get paid and you dont feel productive so time drags

[@prernamadan_25]

Well.. That's what I tell to myself that, I want to learn more. But, that's just for astronomy and physics topics😍😍✨ I literally do not like reading the other subjects like biology, english, history, civics.. 😵 Now, I am in degree clg and have to say, I don't like going to clg🥺.. I want spend more time in reading and building up my knowledge about the universe and unravel the mysteries of the universe... But, this clg timings are so harsh.. We have to be in clg from morning till evening.. And the only thing we should learn there is the subject that are there. During free periods, we can read topics of our interest. 🥺😔 we have to some work which teachers will say..

That was my problem I wanted to hang out and enjoy life, but later in my life I'm finding out that I'm just wanting to learn more and keep learning more about life and life's journey.

[@Mrgamer7281]

It definitely made me curious, but not motivated. I’ll wonder and think and be curious about stuff then go, oh well, and move on until I get curious again. Every subject in school interested me until I had an assignment or some other task.

[@Hunting380]

School has never been about learning, it is so monotonous and just to keep kids busy. Truly a waste of human beings early life. I always fantasized about if school had been interesting or useful.

[@karenstubbs94]

It wasn't school but my childhood that gave me the insatiable need to know everything about everything. As an Air Force kid traveling the world raised on National Geographic. I love exploring, learning and now at 73 I travel the country in a motorhome still courious and excited everyday. James Webb is far out. Thank you Dr. Tyson and Dr. Sagan.

This 100% sums up my experience of school, not only did they not encourage my curiosity they dam right beat it out of me ( not physically but mentally) it has taken me years to start to regain my natural curiosity

You two guys are great and I wish someone would have been as up front about space the world learning when I was a kid because now that I'm 50 some odd it's my crack I can't get enough of it. Schools never out and yet we still rock it.

This is why im glad i was homeschooled for a few years it reignited my curiosity and i didnt even pay attention to grades and schedules more so just the content and problem solving

[@richardbell8856]

Remember as a kid my teacher had all us students write down things we wanted to learn about. We touched on. Absolutely zero of that stuff and focused on standard testing instead. Love it

[@yobnogard2374]

agreed, I'm in the Canadian system, and in elementary, me asking what we get to learn today, and having enthusiasm for learning got me looked at like I was an alien, now in highschool, I'm in an honors math class where everyone wants to learn more, it's such an amazing environment to be in, in makes school fun, enjoyable, and it feels like time best spent

[@Rush_2906]

I said that when I got out of school. But it was thanks to my mom, she always taught me that learning was a process for me and not to get a good grade so I had fun when I was learning.

[@briilives3646]

This is what haunts me as a teacher. My 7th graders last year and some of my 5th graders this year have absolutely no curiosity. They want the questions AND answer fed to them so they can regurgitate them on state exams. And I try to make engaging lessons, and expand the content, and ask thought provoking questions. Between COVID 19/virtual school and just lack of at home support, it’s very clear and unfortunate that school is just an obligation and they have no interest in the content nor the skills being taught.

[@BonziBUDDY]

-Horrible start times -If you're late too often you are punished by not attending class and instead doing work in a separate room where you aren't even learning -Pressured to do homework and study your nuts off OR YOU FAIL and have to REPEAT THE GRADE or ATTEND IN THE SUMMER! -Stress from inevitable tests -Worrying about numbers on a piece of paper being too low -Having to learn at the same pace as everyone else, which sucks for both people who learn faster and people who learn slower -NO proper breaks whatsoever, aside from a 30 minute lunch break -Lazy or just straight up bad teachers that only "teach" because they get paid -Forced to read a book over the summer and complete an assignment, usually books that we are given without personal choice or consideration for differing interests High school just really drains the excitement out of learning and makes it feel like a grindy chore that you have to slave over. No wonder people hate school so much. School is supposed to be about learning, not simulating working a dead end job. I never joined any clubs and rarely got to do anything meaningful because I constantly had to be doing homework and worrying about tests and quizzes.

[@mitchelburns5549]

I completely agree with the feeling that school was a chore I'd go further and say that school made learning anything a chore for me, there's so much I want to learn but as soon as I start I immediately get fed up with it

[@devo1977s]

I absolutely hated school, after I graduated I went over to the local college went over to the office to sign up and I just stood there thinking and the I turned around and left, it had dawned on me that there is nothing here that I can not learn on my own and not be burden by some teachers moods, as a kid I would read encyclopedias because I enjoyed them. As a adult I'm always gathering useless knowledge off the internet, I was at 6 figures before I hurt myself so bad that I could no longer work. Now I read even more and try to pass my knowledge onto my children.

[@blueunicorn7112]

My son told us "I want to learn everything they didn't teach me in school"!

That's me right now, I want to learn more. Throughout my K-12 schooling, I HATED school, I hated everything about it, hated anything to do with it, and probably why I rebelled and nearly dropped out. Next year marks 10 years from when I graduated, and I've peaked my curiosity about the cosmos....oddly enough since this video has Neil in it. I've bought a decently powerful telescope, Celestron Power seeker 127 for my fellow astronomers, and I want to learn more than what I can see and observe, along side numerous apps. Only problem....I don't have the funding and no grant will even touch a quarter of my tuition to go to school, cause I want to go for a Ph.D in astrophysics, and a few other minors in astronomy based fields.

My math teacher was like that... always talking tangent and off topic, but interesting, stuff in class... but his genius mind stopped him at just the right spot and gave us "ah I'll tell you next time" to go back to math but sometimes never returned. So naturally we all curious so we go home and we researched it/Google it.
