What do you think of the education system?

Personally I don't like it and think it could be improved easily. But I'm interested in what you guys think?

(if you guys can keep this non argumentative I will give you a golden star)

 

Education sucks

 

Finland's educaton system is aight. USA in the other hand oof

 

What can they improve? You say they can improve things but don't give examples.

Here in the Dutch school system that I was in, there are many things that can be improved.
Such as the amount of importance they put on certain subjects like learning different languages, or learning basic skills for life.
I knew about taxes and all of that, but you never get told how to do them or how much actually comes into play once you live on your own. The first month or so of living on my own I grew hatred towards my mail box because every week I'd receive a letter of the city that would tell me I need to pay for certain things I never even knew existed, let alone suddenly figuring out how to pay for it and figuring out if you are paying the correct amount or not. I'd had much preferred my school to teach me about that then having to be bored out of my mind for arts and crafts.

This is pretty biased but I think schools should also teach people how to maintain their car for example, and already teach young teens how to be safer on the road and slip in some things that can help them with their drivers license. The amount of time that I am stuck in traffic because some (bleep) drove off with a flat tire and only noticed it on the highway is too damn much, but they don't know any better than ''start car and drive'' so you can't really blame them for it I guess.

I can go on and on, but then again the people in charge probably do things these ways because it has worked.
But because it has worked doesn't mean it'll stay in working shape for the future, I'd like to see the system to yearly make one big change and improved for the best that way.

 

The number of mental health issues in my country because of the school system is astronomical. Teachers are stupidly underpaid and are told to teach a system which has pushed several kids to (tw) suicide and self harm.

 

based on tests and passing instead of actually learning, imo shouldnt be that way and i dont feel like im actually learning shit when all im trying to do is cram for a test and forget it all after
i hear in finland tests dont happen nearly as often but i could be wrong, i feel like its more productive to focus on learning rather than testing

 

TikToks skim the very very basic.
Actual learning is going in-depth on a topic, not a fifteen second video of a girl saying ''Ayo didn't know until I was this old check'' and showing you you can open a drawer with your foot

Same here, I regret not taking Welding more serious. I know how to weld (((((alrightish))))) but I wish I put more effort in it, it's such a unique skill nowadays and super useful to have.
My school focused on this more since it was a different kind of education that focused more on looking where your talent is rather than teaching you how to do math etc. Sadly at that age you don't realize the importance of these things and don't take it serious, but I can say that I paid attention during most of the mechanic classes and it has paid off in the end.

Where? I tried googling about your area (wales) but I don't get much statistic based on what you're saying.

 

It's not massively documented as it's very I guess "British" to say youre fine and no one asks questions. But personal friends of mine have had such severe stress and mental health issues they have been driven to suicide.

 

I think it's aight in the USA, probably because I've never known anything better.
