@Hitanshu zzstu Patel Unless your goal is to become an engineer, accountant, or an architect, most of what's taught in math class other than the basics, is a complete waste of time. Math was actually one of my best subjects until I had to learn Geometry. I had a really hard time grasping the concept, and quite honestly, I didn't give a shit. I was really good at algebra, though. But if you gave me an equation to solve, I'd be totally lost. I understand your point. However, I strongly believe that basic life skills such as the ones I mentioned above, should be taught in addition to academics. In this life, you have to earn a living. There's no way around it.

In my experience it wasn't until I turned 30 that I finally understood a "good path" for my life. This came from lots of work experience outside of school and living in different places to obtain a new perspective on my life and it's significance. I found that in helping others who have struggled like I have is where I excel the most. This I believe came from a place of faith in Christ Jesus and has motivated me since.

[@kjm0677]

damny0utoobe As long as they are qualified to teach the material I believe it’s fine. You don’t need a piece of paper to be qualified to understand and teach math. Again, not everyone who learns math on their own or some place other then college is qualified to teach. But a school wouldn’t hire someone who isn’t qualified. I know how cars work and all the parts that make them, but I’m not a mechanic at all. I just wish people were taught what they want to learn in school. All these tests and homework don’t help students think for themselves at all. They ask for answers and make students look for them. I also think it’s insane how school doesn’t teach you any life skills, as well as don’t teach you how to take notes, study correctly, or even match you with a teacher who teaches how you learn!! (Visually, audio, reading). The system needs to be fixed and stop focusing on money and financial gains. We’re teaching kids to be workers, not to think for themselves or understand material

Let them go at 8th grade, you will solve a ton of the educational issues in high school. It's not the teachers, it's not the administration, it's a bunch of laws forcing these kids into levels of school they can't do and society thinking that it's a right to get a high school diploma.

Jorge Ortiz , another analogy might be the training of fleas.

At this time you can remove the lid and flea will no longer try to escape instead it will remain in the container under its own volition. Program the children to appeal to authority and they will not question it or seek knowledge/understanding outside of its confinements.

We’re not living in the old days where everyone can’t read now. We have systems that teach kids how to read and write but not to think for themselves. I think everyone should go to highschool but I don’t believe college is the best choice. People will go to college for a chance to earn a degree, they will go into debt just for a chance. The education in America is corrupt and isn’t good for actually teaching kids. All we do is make them learn stuff older people value. I think it’s important to be aware about the past but I don’t need to know some specific battle that happened during the Civil War. I will never use that for anything important in my life, and if I ever needed to find that battle or facts about it. I research it, we need to teach kids how to analyze hard texts for themselves and make their own opinion. A kid should not have to write an essay they don’t like. I understand it’s a hard situation but it’s America, if we were actually the greatest country we wouldn’t be sitting here with thumbs in our ass. America is being dumbed down more and more to where we teach the kids what we want to. It’s time for people to stand up against the government. They are only in charge because we the people allow them to be. No one should be living a life like this in 2019, things need to change for the better.

@Kanikapila Ho'ohanai Well, it's a bit of that and the fact that you're encouraging people to learn something viewed as antiquated. Before I go on, I just wanna say I think it's an excellent idea. Period. However, people just seem to move on from things once it's replacement is popular enough. The ease of access to food is SO high now. I know every town/city/county/block/etc is different. But food is offered in so many ways at so many places: gas stations with full-on restaurant service (minus a waitstaff). UberEats. Doordash. Frozen Pizzas. "Smoothies in a bag" As useful and good of an idea yours is, it's just being left behind.

[@Julian-rt9qs]

@Kanikapila Ho'ohanai Totally fair because what more can you do? There's only so much help you can offer before you're forcing the help down someone's throat. And while we very well may be wrong about this, I think it's prudent to AT LEAST consider the possibility. It's easy for people to feel like things "will just work themselves out" because they have in the past. And for most individuals, those things worked out without them ever batting an eyelash. So I suppose a large part of it stems from the thought that nothing that impactful will happen in our lifetime, nor will it happen to us. Either way, I don't fault folks for choosing to be blissfully ignorant. Even just us chatting now I can tell you have moments where you wish you didn't know better, so that you could be as blissful as others. I'm with you though; once I know, I know. And i can't scoff at the idea. Hopefully neither one of us will have to use "I told you so" anytime soon, but who knows? Life is funny, and it's not even a joke.

Instead of drugging kids for what used to be a range of normal behaviors, we need to apply that behavior to a skill that can develop with them. For example, OCD can work with complex circuits or make cabinets. Both require a person obsessed with detail, precision, and exact measurements. Liars can be redirected to creative writing and storytelling, because storytelling is what preserves history and culture in ways that no other medium can. All children should know the calm of their hands in the dirt as it relates to growing food, know the smell of a tomato plant in July, know when to cut herbs just before they go to seed, the smell of fragrant greens, and know the feel of picking peppers and beans for dinner, fresh from the plant. There is a memory within us that awakens when we interact with the earth in this way. It is wholesome and good, and it teaches us how generous the soil and seeds can be if we tend to them.

[@xzak3660]

Best advice I can give a teenager is, get a job at 16, open up a savings account, put $50 a week into your savings account. By the time your 18, you’ll be able to buy yourself a car with money left over. As you get older, put more each week into it, by the time you’re 35 you could open up your own business.

[@randykitchleburger2780]

I would for sure invest 20% of that money at least in stocks, learn to trade while you are young, trade on paper and learn technical analysis from reputable writers, it's well worth at least some of your time! Having a stable savings is very valuable too so don't invest like half of it though!

Trash bags are the biggest scam ever made. It’s the only thing you buy specifically for throwing away.

I was living in England for couple of years and they have these green bins just for compost waste. It was rly cool, i think it should be mandatory in every country

It's hard to break the status quo. It's important to realise that there's cells and atoms but at what point to I need to know every part of a cell and it's function if I'm not to be a doctor? I understand it's to expose you to it if you might have interest. But everyone is almost in agreement that our current school system is broken. I may be out of school now but it shouldn't be focusing on learning this shit you don't need and throwing you into the adult world with no real life skills. You literally grow up in school with teachers saying "waait till you get to the real world. It's so different than school. Okay then show us how to prepare for this "real world" or better yet let's make changes to how we do it. Cause it's easy to get caught in the rat race, but really hard to break conformity in a system set up the way it is

“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” - Margaret Mead I don’t think school admins have ever read this quote. They teach kids to stop thinking and to just memorize and regurgitate, but not to be critical and truly engage with what they’re learning.

One of my favourite videos from JRE, even more than when animals are discussed. He really puts perspective on what is important and the part of making a heap of money won't necessarily make you happy but if you do something that you love then you will be successful. I feel for the people who are stuck in that trap believing being wealthy is life's goal & that they must study for 4-8 years, work hard for 50-60 hours/week, buy a big home and all the rest of it to be a success and happy whilst looking down on others who didn't do those things.

@regular_dude sounds like you live in a bubble, which is understandable because if you really look into it you'll see all the atrocities going on around the world. Face it, we got lucky, many didn't. Right know there's a child in the Sudan with a worm in its eye boring a hole towards its brain. Our crapitalist system is designed to keep us distracted so we don't look into what's going on. The honorable thing to do is stop procreating. Let the unborn be.
