FTFY: 4 years is not enough when 1/3 of the class are 3rd world illegals who don't speak English and 1/3 of the class are joggers.
Also, all the useless shit we teach children in public schools like the global warming hoax, Critical Race Theory, political correctness, how wonderful Islam is, how magical and special faggots and mentally ill trannies are, lies about WW2, all the holocaust hoaxes including COVID, etc.
We need to start again and teach our children the about Jesus Christ, how to read and why they should love it, how to perform complex math including trigonometry and algebra, some basic science including computer programming, how to budget and how to cook some basic healthy meals.
Home economics, finances and good basis in logic as well.
When I was young, we were also taught some simple handyman skills like how to fear electricity when using metal tools, how to make some simple shelving and how to dye and polish the wood.
It didn't take long to teach us those basics, but it was enough for all of us to correctly name the most common tools and how to use them safely.
Many kids today don't even know how to use a can opener.
I suspect most kids today couldn't name half the fruit and vegetables at their local supermarket.
Got that right, had a bunch of radishes at checkout, no code on them, the snowflake checking me out asked..."what are these?"
This makes me sad because many of these kids will never know how delicious and simple some home made soup can be.
Pumpkin, potato, onion, curry powder, garlic, ginger, stock and seasoning, simmered for 20 minutes and stab blended smooth with some coconut milk will make a meal more delicious than anything they can buy from a restaurant and take less than five minutes of effort. Serve it with an oven warmed bread roll and a glass of wine: perfection.
Cauliflower, potato, onion, carrot, celery, mustard seeds, cumin, vegetable stock, seasoning, coconut milk: takes 5 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to simmer and it's mind blowing. Throw some croutons on top, a swirl of coconut milk and fresh coriander and you've got yourself the world's most delicious soup with less effort than it takes to drive to McDonalds at about 1/5th the cost.
Sweet cream of carrot and ginger, cream of mushroom or corn chowder is even easier and less effort.
Mind-blowing Indian meals like shahi paneer or matar paneer can be made with a few more spices and in half the time.
Chili con carne, mushroom stroganoff, creamy mustard mornay, Chinese tofu and broccoli, black bean stir fry and hokkein noodles can all be prepared in less than ten minutes, a little longer if you add meat. Boil some pasta or gnocchi, throw some broccolini in the salted water right at the end and combine it with a home made arrabbiata (takes 2 minutes) and some grated cheese and you'll have perfection with less than a few minutes of effort.
It makes me sad how many people at the supermarkets have shopping carts full of orange junk food and fizzy drink, rather than real food.
It makes me sad how few young people know even the most trivial life skills.
I had the same exact thing happen to me, right down to the radish LMAO. That's hilarious.
LOL - I had the same thing happen with some fresh ginger root in the checkout line. The child at the register had no idea what it was.
No-one is taught how to swing a hammer or read a tape measure. Or read an analog clock, probably.
We had a guy here who graduated from Purdue with a degree in electrical engineering and he didn't know what allen wrenches were.
As a Purdue alumni, this is embarrassing. My husband and I have floated the "learn a trade" balloon w/each of our kids (vs college). As homeowners remodeling/renovating a 70+ year old home, we know the value of masonry professionals, trustworthy general contractors, and craftsmen in various areas. They could name their price, work the schedule they want, and avoid much of today's cancel culture/politics.
Can contest. My 15 yr old stepdaughter has trouble reading our big analog clock in our kitchen. She didn’t even know how to spell her middle name. She didn’t know how to address and put postage on an envelope at 13, or have her address memorized. I’m fairly certain I knew all that when I was 7. I didn’t know if she’s just like a special person or if this is her generation. She’s smart otherwise, like loves Trump!
One of our EEs told me a story about a newly graduated EE at a client site who was confused as to how fuses work.
I have a college degree and work for a homebuilder. I do purchasing/cost accounting/finance/etc (small company). Anyway, 50% of my job is dealing with our subcontractors. I'd say at least half of the subs we have are under 40 (at least half of those are under 30) and make a killing running their own businesses as flatworkers/framers/landscapers etc. One kid does nothing but exterior concrete. he's 33 and runs his own business. We hit it off because he's also a subaru freak. Anyway, he has 300k in CARS in his 10 car garage including imported WRX and R32 Skyline. It's insane. Here i am, 10 years older, jealous as fuck about it.
I still have some of the thing I made in shop classes back in the 90s.
I still have the center punch that I made metal works in late 90s.
We were supposed to make metal handled screwdrivers using the lathes, but the teacher quickly changed his mind when he realized how deadly metal handled screwdrivers could be when working on electronics. :-)
Half of our problems would go away if people just understood what a no true Scotsman is, appeal to authority, special pleading, equivocations, etc...
It's insane what people can get away with via semantics alone
No real Q follower would say THAT! Everyone says so, and by the way I know some people that are way worse than what you're talking about, so the people you're complaining about are no big deal.
Also, you smell bad.
Fight back against THAT.
Logic, grammar, rhetoric.
Advanced math is worthless to 99% of people. I'd focus on American civics, advanced reading comprehension, and European philosophy, Courses on logic and determinism would go a long way even without forced religion.
Put critical thinking on that list too. You'd be amazed how few people use it and just respond to surface level evaluations on everything.
I agree with you, but it depends on your relative definition of "advanced math" because knowing how to calculate the area and weight of various shapes, algebra and trigonometry is often useful.
Even if people don't use these skills daily, they are good to know so they can be quickly rehashed and remembered when needed for everything from cooking to painting your home.
Advanced math makes the easier math so much easier.
If everyone was taught high-level math skills. Then maybe everyone would become some kind of inventor. We would build on the skills of everyone. Society would grow exponentially with these skills and new ideas. We would be able to have decent conversations about future possibilities. We could research, learn, recreate, and expand Tesla's experiments in the different frequency ranges. There is no limit to imagination. Maybe even figure out the Q code???
CRITICAL THOUGHT!!!! Add that one. Should be a 4 year degree
I couldn't agree more.
How devastating would it be to the Harry Potter Banking Goblins if a generation stopped believing everything they were told and starting asking for claims to be substantiated.
Civics not "social" studies.
You just eloquently spelled out where the West really has taken a direct hit. Plenty other direct hits and front lines, not to mention sub-battles and skirmishes. But we are haemorrhaging strength, prosperity and wisdom from the education hit faster than from other hits.
