I HAVE SEEN THIS

We need to get rid of the GE requirements. They are made to support the colleges and universities and not the students with extra debt for shit they'll never use again

I am a business major yet I need to learn about theatre in the 60's?

GE requirements are okay, they are fairly light, and a university SHOULD provide a balanced education beyond a specific cert to a degree.

More than that, i think that community colleges should be recieving the brunt of our funding.

i think public schooling plays a role in society. i think that we don't need to expand it though, and if we introduce education options such as more private/charter schools, public schools will be less bloated and have more resources to run their operations. i'm speaking as someone whose mom taught K-12 and her experiences, and of course as a former public school student, but i myself have not experienced education bureaucracy. i do know that public school administration in california is waaaay too big, to the point that it takes away from the classroom

community colleges are like the big place where adult vocational training takes place.

They have ties to local industries beyond what unis have

Public schooling is factory for future slaves. Kids should not be stuck in rooms all day learning useless standardized shit. Give the kids minimal: how to read, write, basic maths. And then children should be able to decide what they want to focus in as some children are talented in one subject than another @platonic chain

teach them classical greek philosphy

teach them debate

It should be cheap(possibly free) and easy to take part time classes.

@Montana 2025

I only partially agree with you. I think that Texas has done it right. They got past the tracking thing by making students declare a "Major", so that students spend the majority of their time taking classes in their chosen field, and a lot of those classes replace core gen ed requirements

@Montana 2025 germany does this with Realschule and Gymnasium. Kids decide in their teens which vocation they wish to be in and whether the want to go into higher education or job force training

Meaning that vocational teachers see their students for more of the time through the day and they do stuff like get english credits through nursing classes or math credits through welding

What a fucking shit show

I still can't believe it

The problem with private school is that it only exposes kids to a subset of the real world

Why can't we get a Joe Rogan moderation

My school's welding program has massively turned around kids who couldn't sit still who were considered no-hopers.

American public school have retarded subjects like “science” and “social studies”. Wtf is that??? Science has physics, chemistry, botany, algebra, geometry, etc.... but wtf is “science” and how can you learn all in one class @platonic chain

public school does a good job of exposing children in a controlled environment to the social struggles of the real world

science bro i fucking love science

@Mossad That literally doesn't happen in high school in most states

@platonic chain are you a high school teacher or a college professor?

HS teacher.

your hs has a welding program????

A STEM track career teacher

We have:

welding

engineering

nursing

educational aide

uhhh

a lot more

Texas schools HAVE to offer at least 8 major paths

half of which have to be CTE paths

We had:
Football
Band

Social studies includes history, geology, sociology, archeology, fucking all in one like a Happy Meal. US education is legit McDonalds

my high school had programming and advanced math, but almost no art, and they were getting rid of the fitness programs

And we were the biggest public school system in my part of the state

you guys had programs?

Social studies is the worst, but like in the lower levels, "Science" is divided into field by year.
