@seattlehawkins That would be second year economics not high school:P On a serious note, we don’t “sit back’ as you put it. Canada has a significant role in the world. You really should do more research; if you did then you would know that Canada has 70% of the worlds entire fresh water resources, exports most of the worlds grain, soft lumber, uranium, insulin and we designed the rocket engine used in the space shuttle. Not bad for a country of only 33million.
@daiitokumyouou899 What grade do you guys teach “Sit back and let America do everything, Then Mother-fuck them after the fact?” Mahalo!
People should visit w w w (.) schoolsucksproject (.) com and listen to the podcasts if they would like to hear some very good and concise lectures on how the public school system is flawed. I especially recommend it if u have kids and want insight into their education.
Part 2: Also, part of the problem with public education is that its mandatory and kids do not get to choose what THEY want to learn. Kids are naturally curious and WANT to learn. The flaw of public schools however is that, for the most part, it sucks the intrinsic motivation to learn out of kids. The more compulsory the education is, the less kids learn. However, the less compulsion there is, the MORE kids want to learn.
I think that parents are in fact part of the reason why some kids do not excell in school. But I also think it would be a mistake to take the blame away from schools themselves. As Adam has said in previous shows, the government virtually has no competition and therefore has no incentive to increase the quality of its public schools. Also, school is mandatory and kids dont have the choice of learning what THEY want to learn. Kids are naturally curious and WANT to learn but… (continue to Part2)
Who let a WOMAN have a microphone?
the thing is the government has made the hilarious decision that you are not required to pay the IRS, but they allow them to Ass rape you if you do not… so in short to teach about it the government would have to admit you have to which they cannot unless the supreme court rules again.
I guess I got really lucky when they put me in my school because I am in a class that teaches nothing but money, and I was taught taxes last year in marketing class.
Though truth be told they tell you in such detailed instructions on that tax forum, its pretty hard not to be able to figure it out.
@yak6ex but theres a lot more to knowing math than just numbers. you learn to solve problems and look at different solutions and put things together. and that goes a far way
@dfjono
Most people don’t use algebra in the work place.
@Hapafull That’s what I was thinking. I can kind of understand teaching kids how to fill out income tax forms because if you’re in a government school, they should be teaching you how to fill out the government forms that the government makes you fill out every year until you’re dead.
But shit, relationships and talking to your boss or a cop is stuff that you should be able to figure out on your own. Ok, I’m terrible at relationships, but I don’t want the government telling me how to have one.
Uh… Algebra is very applicable… Comeon Adam I thought you were smarter than that
ROFL, this is an idiotic discussion. Every topic they brought up are things that should be taught by FUCKING PARENTS! Jesus fucking christ, you fucking parents expect the school to teach your children fucking everything? Where is the parental responsibility you fucking lazy bastards, expecting the government to take care of you. I guess that’s what we get when live in a welfare state. Nobody can do anything anymore without the government. Fuck sake. Health? Diet? Relationship? Tax form?
I pooped.
@redoubt9000 Apart from the problem lying with the family, which I do agree with. And yes, the education being conducted are simply useless or otherwise taught in the most ignorant fashion possible.
One word: “eugenics.”
How to be a good little slaves……..good little drones who don’t talk back pay there taxes and make life better for all the rich Jews. ……..nah
lmao.. “Manuel Labor” XD
The girl sucks..!! she should not be in the show.
Basic economics should be mandatory in high school and college.
@daiitokumyouou899 I actually didn’t have the whole “fill out a cheque”, or “this is what a tax form looks like” (thank you, e-filing!) but yeah… definitely remember having Careers in grade 10 and a slightly more intensive one in grade 11. And then in college, I couldn’t turn around without tripping over another goddamn “learn to create a resume” class.
Now maybe the solution is to bring back the idea of apprenticeships where at a certain age you go to work under someone that has already mastered the trade.They teach you the ropes and you get a more specialized education specifically in the thing you want to do.
Most of his rant I agreed with.But the idea that you should write a kid off just didn’t sit well with me.There’s no telling what opportunities or hurdles one will come to in life.Classes that many think are nonessential like Trig and algebra are parts of engineering and architecture.And because we don’t know what a child will choose to be we include it.
Teresa’s a jew…I was wondering why I hated her so much…it all makes sense now!
