in total

and that's 5700 KM east of me

Trade school should start 10-12th grade

Students should decide on their paths in Year 10-11.

Trades, sciences, other subjects etc

have more applied schools for certain subjects

Kindegarten - > Elementary School - > Pre Applied Prep in Year 8 and 9

Year 10 is Applied School to year 12.

Applied Schools focus strictly on subjects and core life values.

ie: Applied School of Medicine for Year 10-12 students.

anyone get what I'm saying?

I agree as well

That could actually be useful

Education should have strictly strong funding.

Canadians complain that education cuts are harmful to public schools

but let's be real

their school systems are never as hands on as some other countries schools

Russian School systems, korean ones, japanese ones, some specialized American ones

America did have hands on

Students never learn without getting their hands dirty.

all this theory in reality is useless if they don't know how to apply it.

Exactly

I'm a 3rd Year Medical Undergraduate, my school system was super hands on.

that's how talent is formed.

a wise man once said that knowledge not applied is futile.

why do you think that European countries produce some of the best global engineers?

Schools prompt them to try.

It's why Jews from Russia did exceptionally well in school bearing the idea that they won't get accepted anywhere unless they're the best, and even then it would be super difficult

since Jews in the USSR were pretty much spat on and called k*kes.

the students of nowadays never really lived in bad conditions

by bad conditions I don't mean having your phone taken for a month

Ah

I'm talking about 320 square foot Khruschevkas with no ventilation, barely enough food for the table, and etc

introduce an anonymous system where students and parents can voice concerns with the school system, and make it known instead of an obscure tool 


make school tests anonymous


work with public officials and school teachers to provide secondary schools with more freedom by introducing and revamping school curriculum to focus more on specialization rather than general education

introduce a new system where students pick "courses" at the start of the term to learn about during that term. For example in business studies one course could be a group project where students must work together to make sure their business survives a list of random scenarios like say a stock market crash and another could be about inflation and taxes


introduce lessons like carpentry, journalism, woodworking, outdoor skills, more practical skills (trades basically)

I lived a lavish life because I have a wealthy family, but I looked at the people around me

and I knew what it was like to live in shit.

that mentality drives students to do better, especially all those Goldbergs that are at the top of their class.

@Maksim Excellent last point

life skill courses

I could never agree more.

Students nowadays are never as handy or more applicably knowledgable as their parents
