You’ve moved this theme on a few stages here. Not only are the things we are taught in school of little practical use in the outside world – particularly for those self-employed – significant damage is done by limiting our thinking at the very time we are developing and should be flexing those muscles.

I agree 100% – sharing, responsibility & success should be a core part of the school curriculum.

Thanks for your input.

What I did learn is to memorize what I was being told and take tests based on what I memorized. Of course that is not really learning, in fact most day I would have to memorize so much that after the day was over, I was so full of things to memorize that I forgot 80% of it.

Therefore, this memorizing technique did not even help me to learn anything (much less anything important).

I (like most of the population) was conditioned, programmed, and subconsciously brainwashed into a limited box of perspectives with no way to express critical thinking, concepts, ideas, creative output (in fact in art classes, you have to follow the rules of the project assigned), or anyway of adapting to the world outside of school (much less business mind set).

The only thing I left school with that did anything of value was math skills and spelling/writing, yet even those on the most basic level because I do not remember much, I was too full of memorizing everything else that there was no room for anything except the basics (which was taught repeatedly, since you did to know the basics to move through to the next grade).

History was nothing to me except a way for our past to actions to be made right. That way nobody has to ask questions (no critical thinking) because no matter what happened, we were justified to take the actions we did. The perspective on history, is one perspective. At least everywhere in America I have seen this being played-out.

They should teach concepts instead of subjects. Concepts like sharing, responsibility, critical thinking, business perspective, success (what it takes, how to get there, and the things they all successful people have in common), etc.

Thank you for the article!
