We spend a pretty good portion of our life in school. We start at the age of 3 in nursery, then full time school at the age of 4, and then all the way up until we are 18 years old.
But other than making friends and using a bunson burner in chemistry class, what do we ACTUALLY learn to be ready for LIFE, the adult world.
Personally I feel like I didn’t learn a lot from school. In my opinion school teaches you that you have to live a certain way (career wise). In my school once every few weeks we had to have “careers class”. Asking 16 year olds what do they want to do when they are older is stupid, I must of been the only one that had no idea what I wanted to.
I don’t think school teaches children any life skills, social skills or about money (how to budget and not get into debt). School is very one way of thinking. They teach you to:
- Pick a career
- Do work experience in that field
- Go to uni and study it.
- Get a job in that field
- Work
- Work
- Work
- Work
- Work
- Work
What they don’t teach you is how HARD it is to have a career like they say to go for, but also have a family. There are so many other ways to work in this world without a high flying career.
I always felt so much pressure in school to pick something I wanted to be. I still dont know really & im 25!
I’m just hustling everyday, but I’m happy. Happiness is the most important.
What I have learned in my 25 years on this planet is that, if only school spent just as much time teaching us how to discect a frog as they do teaching teenagers about mental health. A fast growing problem in the world.
I believe more awareness in school could help so much in the development of teenagers.
So the big question, what does school really teach us… 
as a mum, a depression and anxiety sufferer. I learnt more from all these experiences than I EVER did in school. School never prepared me for the big adult world. Dealing with issues, dealing with different people, dealing with Money, how to get a mortgage etc.
What did I learn in school..
I know how to put a condon on a banana
I can use a bunson burner
I did algebra but have never used it in my life, nor do I remember how to use it.
I’m not saying school is shit don’t get me wrong. I just believe we don’t get taught ENOUGH. Life skills are more valuable in the long wrong that pointless science activities.
Peace for now.
