I disagree with this. Forcing children into unnecessary amounts of schooling has cemented a prolonged adolescence in our generation

2018-03-12 05:11:32 UTC  

We need more trade schools not community colleges

2018-03-12 05:11:47 UTC  

More importantly we need to destroy the dept of ed

2018-03-12 05:12:26 UTC  

Our education system has to be completely overhauled from the ground up and take a more utilitarian approach to society.

2018-03-12 05:13:08 UTC  

As of right now, I would assess that about 80% of our current curriculum in high schools could be completely removed with little or no difference to outcome.

2018-03-12 05:14:27 UTC  

Idk if it's that extreme. But I feel that returning control of education to local municipalities will be the ultimate good

2018-03-12 05:14:59 UTC  

End the federal govs policy of taking money from successful schools and pumping it into bloated public schools

2018-03-12 05:15:02 UTC  

We hardly use things in our day to day life like biology, or calculus, or trigonometry.

2018-03-12 05:15:19 UTC  

The fact that any of those are still taught is bordering on parody.

2018-03-12 05:15:30 UTC  

Yes but learning those skills trains methods of thinking

2018-03-12 05:15:41 UTC  

Those are of no use in a high school.

2018-03-12 05:15:49 UTC  

We need to train citizens.

2018-03-12 05:15:54 UTC  

There isn't always a 1:1 ratio of usability in the real world to things you learn

2018-03-12 05:16:13 UTC  

We need to make our education more usable though is what I mean.

2018-03-12 05:16:20 UTC  

Base knowledge of the core fields of mathematics is necessary

2018-03-12 05:16:48 UTC  

There is just an unbelievable swamp of useless shit in our schools that could be replaced with things that could actually help these kids land on their feet after the fact.

2018-03-12 05:17:36 UTC  

Algebra is incredibly useful, as is basic geometry. I wouldn’t be opposed to either of those. But I think everything else ought to be reserved for post-secondary education.

2018-03-12 05:17:54 UTC  

my school offers a cte program where you can learn a trade. That starts at 11th grade though if we could do that starting at 9th grade that would be great

2018-03-12 05:18:18 UTC  

It should teach things like Cooking, mechanics, carpentry, but JROTC should be mandatory to an extent

2018-03-12 05:18:43 UTC  

Small engine repair, welding, finance, all of these things can help to run a household.

2018-03-12 05:18:54 UTC  

I had to take two semesters of art. Absolute garbage.

2018-03-12 05:19:01 UTC  

And in some cases help to prevent crippling debt that the modern youth faces.

2018-03-12 05:19:30 UTC  

@Deleted User CTE is a great thing

2018-03-12 05:19:36 UTC  

that should be in all schools

2018-03-12 05:19:43 UTC  

mines really underdeveloped though

2018-03-12 05:19:46 UTC  

I was retarded and didnt do it though

2018-03-12 05:20:24 UTC  

the teachers didnt really have a plan for any of the CTE classes so we talked in most of them

2018-03-12 05:20:37 UTC  

Now I have zero clue what to do for a career <:blackpill:402367968362758144>

2018-03-12 05:21:10 UTC  

Im not even in JROTC but I had to do it in the CTE cycle

2018-03-12 05:21:10 UTC  

damn is your education shitty in general or is it just the cte?

2018-03-12 05:21:17 UTC  

and think it should be mandatory

2018-03-12 05:21:27 UTC  

its all shitty

2018-03-12 05:21:29 UTC  

I don't mean it as a replacement, but as a viable option for people who would be inclined but feel pressured into getting a 4 year @(((The George Borjas)))

2018-03-12 05:21:35 UTC  

but the cte specifically has no money

2018-03-12 05:21:54 UTC  

or no plans

2018-03-12 05:22:39 UTC  

that sucks, I dont know anything about education though. Why is education so trash in the US

2018-03-12 05:22:45 UTC  

For example, in welding, they made you weld once and then you talked for the rest of the time you were in there until it cycled to a new class

2018-03-12 05:22:51 UTC  

It wasnt taken seriously

2018-03-12 05:22:54 UTC  

My issue is with socially demanding every child goes to college

2018-03-12 05:23:04 UTC
