"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all..."
Probably one of the greatest lyrics of all times... and relates to education in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and 20's... sadly enough and will continue to be relevant for a long long time to come.
AMERICAN EDUCATION SUCKS if one does not plan on attending college because American Education is predicated on everyone going to college which is theoretically not possible because of American's various aptitudes and skills.
HIGH SCHOOL in addition to courses that prepare one for college should be teaching:
- Carpentry
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Drafting and Design
- Customer Service
- Culinary Skills
- Auto Mechanics
- Personal Finances
- Health and Hygiene
- Defensive Driving Techniques
- Budgeting and Planning
- Shop Classes
- First Aid and CPR
- Animal husbandry
- Back Yard Gardening
- Survival Skills
HAVING A COLLEGE EDUCATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY MAKE ONE EDUCATED...
