school

Some of the things they teach you in school may possibly become vaguely useful in later life. About 50% of the crap they teach you is pointless,and will never be used in real life, and 30%is just review of the pointless crap they already taught you. If you want to become a lawyer...do you really need to know the history of Rome? I should be able to choose what I want to learn based on what I want to do in later life. If I want to be a construction worker, I'll take a class in architecture. If I want to be a math teacher, I'll take a class in math. We should learn only what will be of value in whatever job we hope to pursue as adults. Anything else is a complete waste of time. School does have some useful points, but it has many flaws that really need to be fixed.

Student: I want to own a restaurant when I grow up, so why am I stuck in school learning about the economical orientation of Madagascar?

Teacher: How dare actually wan to pursue your dreams!! Detention!
