When I was on a school placement, there was a lot of, “This is boring! Why do I even have to learn this?”
I think a lot of school is about learning how to learn and having to face boring things, because not every job is going to be smelling the roses everyday.
I have to say, the curriculum includes content on respectful relationships and social-emotional learning, which I’m a big fan of. Although I’ve yet to see anyone teaching this stuff.
Sorry, I deleted because I’m a few wines deep and not sure I was presenting any kind of acceptance or debate of what you said. However, I would LOVE to see schools teach more on respectful relationships and social-emotional learnings. I think my point was more about knowing more about the history of the Medici Family than how to budget in Australia, but I think I was going a little off the rails. Thanks for the engagement on the comment nontheless, you are fuckin’ AWESOME
Oh oh oh I also need to say that I DO NOT blame teachers for what I came out of school knowing. They’ve been told some awful curriculum but people sooooo far out of the game
Yeah! Thumps table Who decided we should work for about FIVE DECADES of our lives, 5 days a week, one third of our day? Work-rest-play my arse!
I vote for a 4 day working week!
Do you think that should also mean a 4 day school week as well? One day a week off school is like a month out of the entire year off school.
Yes. I reckon a lot of schooling is training people to be accepting of work bullshit.
Yep exactly.
Neo-liberalism at its finest.
Fkn aye
I mean, school should also probably reflect more of what we face out in the real world, but that’s an entirely different discussion!
I wholeheartedly agree.

Maybe, some schools take 3 weeks off instead of 2 during the little breaks so that’s 3 weeks out of the year anyway for them.
