The problem is that schools, especially in the west, have totally lost the plot! We need to get back to its original and sole purpose. Teaching young people the basic skills needed to work in society. As well as the skills needed to move onto secondary education and vocational training. The fact that so much time and effort is spent on things other than core subjects, even while we graduate children who fail at one or more of said subjects, is inexcusable. It also makes efforts to push things like political/social activism and issues onto children, all the more infuriating! (not to mention the real harm and derangement doing so causes to children and young people's mental health)
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoCould you expand on what you believe are "core" subjects?
- HereIGoAgain 4y agoReading, writing, MATH, basic science, basic computer literacy and true more generalized home economics/shop type stuff. (basically from understanding bills and legal stuff to basic repair etc) Stuff needed to actually live in society and the tools to START more advanced educational or vocational endeavors. Other stuff should come second, if it all in a mandatory school system.
