70 % Of School is Bullsh**

[RealCrownHeights]

After learning the basics, reading writing and arithmetic and learning social skills, what a huge waste of time that does not prepare anyone for the real world. Granted, I didn't go to elite schools until College, but Trigonometry and not learning about taxes? tectonic plates but no entrepreneurship programs or classes on student loans and or credit?

I was terrible at math and graduated barely at the end because I passed the final by like 2 points. My College Advisor at the time, told me nothing about Student Loans and my family was naive and thought college was the answer so I went to a "good" liberal arts school , where I had to take 2 years of gen ed. The gen ed was harder than my major classes by a long shot.

Everyone in my College Algebra class:" this is easy, I did this in 10th grade." Me:, a nikka had to pay thousands to take fukk$%in music history an biology in college, when I did it for free in high school, and it was totally unrelated to my major or having to be successful in life.

Hindsight is truly 2020 bruh's, my little brother is 14 and 6'2, I'm in the park working this nikka out like Rocky, he's either getting that full ride and doing stem or going to trade school


Edit**- Some people are pointing out that the subjects in school are supposed to prepare you in life but have yet to give real examples of such times, or was able to articulate why the classes we should be learning aren't taught

School is like a 12 step brainwash camp that makes you think if you drop out you ain't got a chance to advance in life..

 

[BaggerofTea]

Agreed,

By the time you hit middle school, you should already be in classes that are more career and skill focused.

But they want to be a babysitter so they give you a bunch of hot air classes

I always say that you don’t really learn anything in school. You learn on your own.

The thing is, you need to finish college to get the degree, as most jobs require at least a BA (higher for other positions)

Not anymore..

Major companies have already started doing this.
Trump executive order stresses skill over college degree in hiring

School is 100 percent bullshyt. nikkas can be all booksmart, get good grades and graduate from a famous university and still be broke.

What happens outside of school is what matters. Parents/friends/family/mentors. All that other shyt goofy

I didn't go to school past 9th grade and I'm pretty close to a millionaire. My family members that went to college are damn near broke and owe 200k for a school loan.. Their kids look at me and said they ain't going to college..

I don't think HS is as bs as people make it out to be. Here's my breakdown.

• Math: Four years – often includes algebra, geometry and trigonometry
• English: Four years – covers classic and period literature, drama, research, and writing
• Science: Three classes – often involves biology, chemistry and physics
• History: Three classes – U.S. history, world history and civics are common requirements
• Foreign Language: Two years (sometimes optional) – Spanish, French and German are long-standing offerings, but Japanese, Chinese and Russian are increasingly popular
• Physical Education: Two years – can often be replaced by approved after-school activities
• Computers: Two classes – typing, office programs and web standards are just a start
• Health: One class – nutrition, disease, sexuality and first aid are often covered

Now everyone needs basic math to survive in life. And Algebra is also usually for pretty much anyone. you can't calculate interest and depreciation without being able to navigate basic formula structure. algebra can help with that. Geometry and Trig start to feel more like specialization and should really only be for people who plan on doing certain majors.

English, obviously, research and writing are valuable skills to anyone . Literature is scholarly and good for general knowledge and wisdom so i can give that a pass. Drama is strictly extracurricular. You don't have to do it, but not everybody gets to play football

Science: Biology should be required, too many stupid people out their ruining the health of themselves and others because their ignorant about basic biology. That a public necessity imo. Chemistry should only be for chemist majors, physics is another scholarly one for people to have basic wisdom about how things work around them so i can give it pass too.

History: Like Lit and physics all of these are scholarly things good for wisdom. School isn't just about learning valuble skills. You should also come out there more intelligent too and capable learning more advanced subjects should you choose. I know plenty of extremely skilled people who are dumb as rocks.

Foreign Language: Realistically this doesn't work at all. unless they start in kindergarten may as well scrap this. nobody i know who took spanish is fluent today.
Physical Education: should really be expanded on done even more intensively then it is now. People way too fat and ignorant about diet in this country.

Computers: realistically should be a college thing only. most work that requires computers require degrees anyway.
Health: same as phys ed.

You don't need school to learn that shyt if we keepin it 100

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Judging by many of the threads and ideas expressed on this forum, some of you need to get your asses back in the classroom.......​

The Earth is flat.

The Sphinx is 10,000+ years old.

Black people are Native to the Americas.

The Jews control the world.

Vaccines are a sterilization plot and don't work.

A nuke is responsible for the explosion in Lebanon.

Rockets don't work in space.

Monogamy isn't normal.

This is all nonsense espoused by 'learning' OUTSIDE the classroom and it's all ignorant bullshyt easily taken-care-of in Middle School/High School coursework and study.

i generally agree with the post but back in my day we had a couple of classes that taught you some of that stuff (I'm from canada though)

I had this class towards the end of high school that taught us about budgetting, how credit cards work, how line of credits work, how interest is calculated, difference between renting vs home ownership, etc. Even had portions of the year where they tought us about basic cooking and sowing (we were in groups of 3 in a room full of stoves cooking pasta and other stuff). Teacher also thought us about different types of govt structures around the world. To be honest, most of us weren't taking the class serious but thinking back it was pretty cool and the teacher was trying to give us some game (telling us not to fukk with credit too much, etc).

We also had this other class where we had to draw plans for a house and it had to be up to scale, we had to build wooden stuff with tools or whatever. That class was optional and i didn't learn much cause the teacher was a fukk up.


But yeah, thinking back, they should have devoted more time to those types of classes...

Good Points but most of those classes and courses should and could be covered either in middle school or at least the 9th grade. 4 years of math when you really only need algebra. English-There are important books you should read and yes you should learn and maybe research but research nowadays comes down to using Google.com. History, is a lot to cover but like I said most people don't use history in the real world. People take history for years and still don't know shi#.

Foreign Language is a good skill but the average American only speaks one language and only did the basics to get out of school compared to when I travel and the damn uber driver speaks 3 languages.

Computers-I agree with, this should be one of the focuses. Health-Nutrition and sex ed can be covered in 2 years
