The school system is flawed, but it's never going to be perfect and to expect them to teach you how to deal with every problem you face in life is unrealistic. In a perfect would we would be taught all of that but there's always going to be something that isn't taught that someone thinks should be.<br /><br />http://www.abigailalicex.comAbigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559646491705915529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142976305561526174.post-29073325611733910092014-02-23T16:56:52.783-08:002014-02-23T16:56:52.783-08:00Hi I just wanted to tell you that I love your work...Hi I just wanted to tell you that I love your work, and I'm really glad that I discover your channel, and may I say it was an interesting discovering giving the fact that the first video that saw was about your popping experience.

I'm about to turn 16, and I feel like my school has suddenly turned into "Ok, do all these mega-important things like uni applications, find accommodation, write job applications etc" and offered us very little help on how to do that, when they've had plenty of time to teach us these things in weekly PSE lessons, in which we never seem to do anything of practical use but instead get shown gory slides of STDs. taxes would have been particularly helpful, as I have literally no idea what to do when they come up in my life. In addition to this, it would have been great if they'd given us some more advice on mortgages and 'grown up stuff' like that, instead of saying 'You'll all have to learn that soon'. Yes. Yes we will. So why can't you try to teach us?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264103557437728683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142976305561526174.post-22386059412580211872013-09-20T03:42:04.282-07:002013-09-20T03:42:04.282-07:00I have similar annoyances but after your list I fe...I have similar annoyances but after your list I feel a little more grateful because I did learn a bunch of those things in high school (sex ed beyond the physical, how to write a CV, how to prepare for a job interview, how to deal with bullying [kind of] & basic self defence)TonksftMemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172147219455456032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142976305561526174.post-7187045883191947582013-09-19T09:31:24.040-07:002013-09-19T09:31:24.040-07:00Had no idea you wrote a blog as well as youtube :D...Had no idea you wrote a blog as well as youtube :D I love YouTube (and like most want to give it a try) but there's something I really like about writing. <br />Also, I too feel your almost stubborn allegiance to the blogger platform...

I think it's very important we are taught these skills. A lot of people have very educated parents, but still don't know basic life skills. A simple 1 hour lesson every week could cover all sorts of issues and be extremely valuable. I don't think it is demanding at all to ask schools to teach children the skills they need for life, alongside their academic subjects. I can see why you think it would put pressure on schools, but most schools in England have "PSE" in which you are supposed to learn about life (but you mainly learn about STDs and nothing else). This lesson could be used to cover a range of topics :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142976305561526174.post-23266356044815680472013-09-18T12:26:02.065-07:002013-09-18T12:26:02.065-07:00I totally agree with you!

I finish my A levels in the summer and have NO idea about law/taxes, and I've had to learn about how to keep your mental health ok, simply because my mother is mentally ill and I grew more interested. It really is awful that everyone is so focused on grades instead of becoming a well-rounded human being, who knows how to keep themselves healthy (mentally and physically). My year 11 English teacher was brilliant and one day took the chance to spend a lesson telling us about how to voice your opinions and listen to others - she went completely off book because she wanted us to learn something valuable. She was amazing and everyone in our class got an A - shows you can be a good teacher, teaching the curriculum and basic life skills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142976305561526174.post-5700369170046996702013-09-15T02:34:21.748-07:002013-09-15T02:34:21.748-07:00I think it's demanding attitude, teaching you ...I think it's demanding attitude, teaching you how to cook basic meal and sexually educating you beyond physical would actually be at the expense of the whole society, the economy is struggling even without having to caress you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142976305561526174.post-18245768145376387082013-09-14T20:35:31.787-07:002013-09-14T20:35:31.787-07:00There is a great deal of truth to this in the Unit...There is a great deal of truth to this in the United States as well. I think it is especially bad when school funding is derived from student test scores on standardized tests. <br />Standardized tests force good teachers along with bad to plan their entire curriculum around preparing students for (as you mentioned, Lex) to get the marks they need on the test and forget the majority of the information.<br />I took one Home ec class when I was in middle school and that taught me some great life skills like sewing and cooking, but this was only and elective class so most people missed out of it.<br />I agree to that there should be a larger part of school based around teaching people how to members of society (what a novel concept!) teaching them about how to do taxes, what the tax money goes to, how the government works, how to vote, and not just for president people should be educated about all the levels of government and how to take part.<br />There are a number of ways that the education system could be improved. People need to realize that when we criticize education it isn't because we hate it-it's the opposite! It's a passion and love for learning that leads us to want more from it!<br />Thanks Lex!

From your list above high school taught me about loans from banks and lending companies work, how to deal with conflict, basic first aid, sex education beyond the physical, how to write a CV ( we did this so much that my older relatives now ask me and my brother to help them when applying for jobs), how to write a covering letter,how to prepare for a job interview (we had mandatory mock interviews with feed back),how to deal with bullying, how to deal with mental health issues,how to cook basic meals, how to manage money and budget, how to cope with family illness/bereavement, basic self defence, how to deal with sexism, racism, homophobia etc, who the major political parties are and their policies <br />and how local councils work and where tax money goes.<br /><br />While I don't know if every student in Ireland has had the same experience based on talking to my peers most schools are pretty good at providing their students with life skills. I went to non - fee paying secondary school and the staff there tried there best to have courses in important areas such as self defense as part of the weekly timetable. I'm grateful to have learned these skills young but it is still an area that definitely needs to be improved on.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627149520717598362noreply@blogger.com
