Why? Because of the public school system

It has literally 0 incentive to do any of this

When a child is in class, they aren’t with their parents and they aren’t running around outside.

You need to make up for the lost parenting time and exercise time.

You can talk about parents doing their job properly and all that, but mandatory school puts way too big of a hole in the development process.

I can’t even remember my class rooms from elementary school.

How old are you?

In my nation, they push whole day schools goinf from 8am to 4pm

Forgetting how your class rooms looked should be reserved for the senile <:slurpgon:583424900732157956>

I’m 20

I learned jack shit from primary school

Ok yeah I agree with that but I have to admit if you forgot what your class room looks like I'll have to judge your long term memory, and it's uh... bad

That’s accurate tbh

I also had some antisocial issues at the time.

Moving the middle school solved that for the most part.

Well I have my own gripes with school but I don't think I'd be taken seriously if I mentioned that I couldn't even remember the premises

Because "I learned nothing" coupled with "I can't remember simple stuff" makes people think that's entirely your failure, not the school's

And I'd be inclined to agree, sorry not sorry

So yeah basically

I guess.

If you want to push this idea, maybe don't mention it, or else maybe don't try to push the idea? So people don't get the wrong impression of people like us?

I still feel like it was a waste of my time.

Oh it was certainly a waste of time for many people, if not perhaps most

There's strong evidence suggesting that up to 90% of the things we learn in school will be forgotten by the time we're adults

Lets say around 30 y/o or something

And our recollection only continues to decline after that, until all the meaningless or useless memories are erased

I learned the most from leaving high school.

Poetry interpretation can be replaced with metalworks just fine

Eh

Repair jobs should be a class, not "metal works"

Or part of a class

It's more,useful than interpreting some shot writing

I concur

In fact interpretation of text is the most meaningless task I could think of

Yep

People interpret things the way they want when they're out of school

Not in an objective manner

But you get grades for it

If you want something theoretical, a class on taxes would be nice

Hah, you're dreaming

I indeed am
