Learning is good and it should be continued after becoming an adult. School from elementary to college is all hosed. Learning "english" or "history" is only "useless" because our lovely society made them bad on purpose.

Twerk from Home posted:There are a lot of states where picking up litter by the road is the court-assigned community service for misdemeanors, I think we really want to avoid making school look even more like the criminal justice system. Improving your community shouldn't be a punishment.

When you have bulk trash that needs to be picked up, who do y'all call in your jurisdiction? I call the sheriff's department, because it's work for prisoners. Our waste removal doesn't handle it, prisoners do.

The class that taught me the most useful skills (basic coding) was an elective in high school, pretty much all the most bullshit classes (Spanish, English, loving Art History) gained me jack poo poo. I had to read the Great Gatsby like three different times and it sucked each time.

Azuth0667 posted:You need a foundation of knowledge to specialize at all and HS is supposed to deliver that. I am assuming you don't have the background in education to understand why those suggestions are bad. You have a foundation of knowledge by the time you get to high school. You spent the prior ten years learning broad generalist knowledge. High school is an opportunity to prepare people to be adults and we are currently wasting that opportunity teaching mostly useless knowledge items to disinterested parties. By the time someone is 18 they should be prepared to make their own decisions and understand how the world will work for them as an adult. The fact that they often don't, and that high school did not prepare them for this, is a failure of our education system. You don't need to grind the periodic table into the head of most people: this is completely useless knowledge and if you were interested in chemistry you'd have figured that out by 9th grade enough to select the elective

First robotics is good for kids. It's like shop class, but less boring.

I didn't go to college until I was thirty years old and some of the generalist humanities classes I took were important in giving me a broader perspective on life. You can't really just huck all that in the trash and turn anything after 8th grade into job training if you want a population that can think on their own.

yes we should definitely be drilling rote Adulting Knowledge into 16-year-olds instead of how to critically think, solve complicated/abstract problems, and further deepen knowledge about the world and its history

Like half of high school English and history is devoted to demonizing socialism so I would have to argue against this point

i think it's that we have removed any connection to whether what we're doing is good or useful and instead focus on how much money can be made off of the process of children having to go to school

If I had spent that time in shop class I would have come away with useful skills that lasted me for my entire life, instead of a half baked and deeply propagandized understanding of the history of American conflict

It's hosed up. it is unfair to assume that learning skills like this should be exclusively consigned to the private home family life in a just society e: but you don't help your argument by making GBS threads on the periodic table or your specific history teacher
