As I was saying in the previous article, we spend so much time in school, but we find ourselves after we finish our studies at 20 something, without any idea about life or how it works. Here are some other things they don’t teach us in school but they should.
You don’t learn to be proactive
Unfortunately, school educates you to be passive at what happens around. They teach us that it’s good to blend in and do as told. Have you heard of the “Bystander Effect”? It’s a psychological phenomenon that manifests through the fact that you’re more likely to help someone in a limit situation when there are less people around.
A bigger group of people will be less aggressive than a small one. The bigger the group, the smaller is the resistance. This is how we’re being educated since kindergarten.
You don’t learn that failing can be good
Someone said that if failing didn’t exist, it should have been invented. School works like this: You know what’s in the book, you get an A.
You don’t know, you fail the class. When you fail a class, it seems like such a big deal, because you have been educated to believe that it’s a tragedy to have a small grade, but nobody will care after a year that you failed a test. Not even a week. The biggest achievements have come after failures.
You don’t learn how your body works and how to feed it
We live in a time when people search for diagnosis on the Internet. You have a pimple? Make a search on Google and see what you have. Isn’t it stupid? You are born in this body that you have and feed everyday. Wouldn’t it be okay to know how it works?
I know people that can talk for days about how a plane or a car works, but at 25 years they don’t know if that pain in the right side of their abdomen comes from their liver or their spline. Let’s not even talk about nutrition. I would have liked to learn in school things about nutrition, sports and metabolism.
