I am very, very grateful for my childhood education and I got a lot of out it.
But, knowing the difference between a sedimentary and a metamorphic rock does not help me do my taxes, manage my money, or invest for the future.
When it comes to handling the psychological and emotional stresses of daily life, knowing how to calculate the circumference of a circle is not particularly helpful.
Kids need to learn life skills.
Is it on purpose, that they don't teach these things? They don't want us to know how to deal with money and investments otherwise we'd be too smart, powerful and harder to control?
I dunno.
All I know is that I WISH someone had taught me these things when I was younger.
