My Thoughts:

I think it is rather interesting it makes you question something that most have never even thought to question but what I think about school is you know it should have more learning of basic life skills just like the video said such as balancing a checkbook and cooking and fixing simple things like a car even using power tools or building. Sure there are elective classes throughout middle school and high school now I didn't do any heavy research on it but just taking an average number of school days in year about 180 days x 7 hours = 1260 hours 1260 hours x 13 years = 16380 total hours in education roughly like do you know how much stuff to do with basic life skills in that amount of time? If you took 500 of those hours of those dedicated to cooking classes each and every person could be a fucking chef just. What about building a house or basic structure to survive? Take 50 of those hours and teach people how to use table saws, and every Power Tool out there. Take a few hundred of those hours and teach kids how to survive in the wild how to live off the land maybe if they got abandoned teach them how to build a fire, shelter, how to eat, how to kill. Now of course some of these things would be taught earlier than others and some later.

Like you cant take an 11 year old and trying to teach him how to survive in the wild that might be for a 16 year old. But anyway just leave below what you thing. I believe we spend to much time sitting in math class and sitting in history class and sitting in Science and all learning stuff that really doesn't prepare us for the "real world" of course I think that everyone should know some basic history, basic math but just like Geometry for example when in the fuck are you going to need how tall that flag pole is and use angles and degrees to figure it out? How many jobs will require that? Lets see Contractors maybe and uhhh yeah about nothing else. We learn things in school that aren't even used in life.

Please try to explain your response and maybe take 5-10 minutes or so actually think about it. Dig deeper than the surface. Try to stay away from responses like "This is dumb." or "Yeah I agree" and try to explain why you think its dumb or why you agree.

This video would be great if more people were able to view it it has a low count on youtube

school sucks

it just does

School is just another marketing tactic

I think high school is bullshit because I feel like I didn't learn anything until I got to college. So in my opinion, not all of education is bullshit.

Soo True

This video is great, but I think the education that you get is based on where you are. I can only speak for myself, being in a small town in the southern states. Everyone here knows each other, and everyone in the surrounding cities. We generally do well in school, our teachers and parents are friends, neighbors, we all hang out. What our parents want us to be taught goes directly to the teachers, and what the state wants us to learn is somehow worked into that, but since our town is so small, and our school is really the only thing that people go to in our town, the state doesn't pay much attention to us and we have a little bit more freedom. In most of my classes last year, our teachers wouldn't even teach. *They would sit in the front of the classroom and talk to us about what we were going to do after school. A lot of the teachers agreed that after 12 years or so, we should already have the basic knowledge and that there really wasn't anything more we could learn.*

Now when I say they wouldn't teach and we just talked, it's not like how you'd see in a show where everyone in the class are convict thugs who don't wanna be there. None of us are troublemakers, and we all do fairly well grade-wise. After a couple of days just talking about our future, the teacher would give us a sort lesson and try to explain how we would ever use it in real life. We'd take a small 15-20 question test (sometimes we'd have multiple 2 question tests in 1 day to put in multiple grades) The same couldn't be said for the lower grades, 7-10, those teachers really drilled the books on us.

Also, to add to this, I don't think the schools should be held responsible on "how to grow a garden, fix a car, how to build a house". A lot of these things to me are the responsibility of the parent. It's obvious the only things schools and the government are interested in are grades and looking like we're the smartest in the world. If you want your kids to know how to grow gardens, show them over the weekend. If you want your kid to know the basics of building something, or working on your car, spend time with them, and show them. If you expect the schools to do that for you, you're going to have a bad time. The personality and how social kids are are defined and sculpted by the parents. My parents are the reason I'm doing well, not the school, but the school is the reason I can do math and know about space. There's more to this...like religion, but that's a no-no topic. [/end rant]

This video made me think about my childhood. I have many reasons why School is Gay and why School is Good for You..
Thanks for the video!!
