A friend I had threatened to make me lose subscribers because he told his friend to sub to me because I was "being mean to him".
Wow,school is great.

I sometimes feel like it's a means to an end. A lot of what goes on in school is kinda pointless but there is some good that comes from it.

Going to a college or tech school for something you are interested in is the best experience I have ever had with school. I like learning things that I can apply or that I at least find interesting. Most of the things I learn are by choice outside of school. Books and youtube help me answer questions I have and find more information on things. 

I feel like my schooling really skipped out on history and geography so I take time to learn about them in my spare time because I think knowing more about the world is really important. I am almost done with college now but I don't ever want to stop learning.

Not trying to interrupt Ralf at all - I wanted to answer because I really hated school as a kid.

School does help teach the fundamentals - reading, writing, math and logic. It's just sometimes that the system of school doesn't work well in practice. I agree wholeheartedly that the school system is pretty bad. There's a lot they don't teach, lessons are disorganized and more importance is put on letter grades than learning. Plus all the extra drama, bullies, and distractions making it all a slog. It's one of those great idea, bad execution situations. Try to find something you are passionate about to work twards and keep motivated. College is SO much better than regular school, and if books aren't your thing tech school is a great choice to learn a trade.

In my opinion primary/elementary most of the time you actually learn something. In secondary/middle/high school I believe it is very rarely useful. (I should have elaborated on my first post) Ok sometimes you learn stuff but for example in year 7 (11-12) you just learn stuff you already know in primary. As you go through the years you learn complicated stuff that you don't need to know. In life who needs to know what the cells are made up of. Who needs to know how to use a abacus, we have calculators. Arithmetic math is kinda useless as we have calculators. Do you get what I mean?
Plus most stuff that you need to know in life they dont teach, for example, how to get a job, how to manage your career, how to do a interview, how to start a business, how to manage money, etc.

Basic math is pretty important but anything that isn't used for most people should be a specialty class imho. Fractions and decimals are good for cooking, building and money but algebra isn't for most things in life.

I'd say as far as cells goes, it's good to understand what your body is made up of so you can take care of it. I always got the worst muscle aches until I learned in a biology class that our muscles need potassium, calcium and magnesium to function properly and I have seen a great reduction in leg pains after working out.

I agree with you 100% there. I have always wondered why schools don't teach these things.

My school didn't teach it itself, but I did go on a field trip that taught us about financing. But I agree, school should teach life skills along with the basics.
