I was just thinking, in this day and age every kid should leave high school knowing how to manipulate Excel data, as well as learn all the logic/etc involved to do so

shyt's a less intimidating way into programming, but also basic as fukk... theres gotta be a positive correlation between Excel skills and employability/pay

This reads more like a list of things the man doesnt want the poor to know.

honestly i'm pissed that my school never had an auto shop class. how the fukk they not gonna teach us anything about car maintenance.

back in the day there was entire generation of men that could look under the hood and diagnose the problem cause they learned that shyt in school.

but outside of the super basic shyt i know next to nothing about auto repair. if my shyt ever breaks down and i gotta pull over on the side of the road i'm pretty much useless. i know how to change a tire... that's about it.

Really think all high schools should have a Personal Finance class.

Teach students how to deal with taxes, mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, how to buy a house, about bank accounts, how to invest, saving for retirement, etc. Shyt would have been extremely useful.

But instead they want to make everybody take Geometry and Pre-Calc when 95% of students will never use it.

This day in age i think children would do well to learn that:

A "problem free life" is more about a state of mind in relation to the events of life rather than the events themselves only.

and that the meaning of the word "Success" is relative.

we all know why they don't teach these skills in school
