Apple you might want to remain quiet if your opinion is that Sex Ed is useless....
The reason we have higher teenage pregnancies in lower educated classes/areas is a testament to how important Sex Ed is. Having someone with authority and whom you can trust, teach you about STD's, pregnancy and contraceptives, can and will help the development of a teenager/child. There is a reason why people arent getting AIDS as often as in the 70s anymore. Your opinnions is just blatantly wrong

Sex is a massive part of human life and should be first approached in a safe, factual and proper environment. Not with 13 old friends who searched big titties on the internet

I am in no way saying sex Ed isn't important. I don't know how you got that idea. All this back and forth argument with other people railed my opinion off the tracks. My initial thought that I was implying on this thread is that the classes taught in school aren't a big necessity in life. Sure it's good to now math Chemistry and biology etc. but what I was saying that teaching students how to do bussiness and how to communicate and be all around successful should be the focal point of school. Of course you can learn bussiness in your own free time, but I'd rather that be the things we learn in school and not trigonometry for example. I have no idea why anyone would think I'm against sex Ed. I'm not saying sex Ed is useless or chemistry and other basic school courses, I'm saying there are better things to learn. "But sex Ed is important Apple" sure it is and educate the kids on it, I never said don't.

But listen, do you think kids should learn how to be successful in life and how to do bussiness and other important things, instead of learning the amount of protons in tungsten?
Yes?

There is value in common knowledge, this world isn't only about succeeding in business life. That is why we teach history, psychology etcetc. to understand ourselves and others better, not only to succeed in life. And higher level schools such as colleges and special high schools do teach those things. You shouldnt teach business, taxes etc, to a 10 year old imho. And who says that being good at maths doesnt create a succesfull life, it certainly can

Yes being good at math can make you successful, so can being good at skateboarding. But your better off learning more common areas of bussiness rather than learning math because maybe you might become successful knowing math. I also understand that some schools may teach you bussiness but those schools are very scarce. So why should it have to be an I spy to find a school like that when it should be the norm?

"this world isn't only about succeeding in business life" no it isn't, but it sure as hell is important. People waste half their lives working so they can try to "succeed in business". So because it's not the number 1 thing in the world we should learn random things like chemistry, physics, math. NO, we should learn bussiness even though it isn't "the most important thing".

If you have been in work life, you understand that its hard to teach something like how it is to have a basic job. You might think teaching "business" is important, but that "business" stuff you are talking about is rarely what people actually do in their jobs. Only money matters that should be thought to kids is maybe money management and taxes depending on your country.

Then at the very least teach that! I agree!
But your saying it's complicated to teach bussiness I understand because it's a broad subject. But it can still be done.

Our school teaches business, but its a soft subject that noone takes, anyone whos good at maths sails through it, if youre good at maths you can manage your money

Also managing your money =/= business, business is selling goods or services to make money. Very few people use business (are entrepreneurs) as a day job so I would maintain that maths is more important

also i would not call the sciences random, a very large proportion of university graduates do science based courses and therefore will use at least one of the sciences at uni and probably also in their day job
Don't dm me pictures of bowls that you find attractive.

If you want your whole life to be geared towards a career in real estate, and having your life dictated by what other people care about, then go for it. You won't be a very interesting/intelligent/well rounded adult, but no one's going to stop you. Drop out of school and start working then.

FYI, no one cares about anything you know or don't know either way. If you are too thick to consider improving yourself and learning about the world around you to be a worthy cause, then as I said above, no one's going to stop you.

let's hope so lol.

I'm not saying I want to learn what I already know, because surprise surprise I don't know everything about the broad spectrum of bussiness. I'm not just saying I personally what it to be taught to me, I think it should be taught to everyone. If someone in school wants to know math history or other things that is mandatory in school know, make it an elective.

Quoting you here.
I did like the "but I want to learn about tax even though I already know about it" part though.

You think im complaining about how I want it taught just to me and fuck everyone else. I think it's more important for everyone. Also you think I know everything there is to know about it? I didn't just refer to taxes I'm implying bussiness. I'm pretty sure I made that clear but I'm beginning to understand why you can't pick up on that. You're nit picking part of what I said and blowing it out of proportion. I'm just mad because that quote up there is beyond idiotic, and it was just made for you to insult me. You obviously know I didn't know everything there is to know about taxes. So you are saying that because you read about taxes, and have done some personal research and know a thing or two you STILL WANT TEACHERS TO TEACH IT TO YOU!?!? That would mean that by that logic every kid who knows a thing or two about math, chemistry, history, biology, physics shouldn't bother learning it because they already know a little of it. I'm not saying I don't need to learn those subjects because I know about them, I'm sayin there are a lot more important things to learn.

This is a debate. Not a fucking flame war. Don't say something if you have nothing intelligent to say.

Students should not be given that much flexibility. Just because they don't like something doesn't mean it shouldn't be mandatory. Math is something that needs to be taught, the same thing goes for history. These are things that the student needs to learn, regardless of whether or not they want to learn it. Placing these classes under elective would be counter-productive.

I have to agree and disagree. While it's not the schools responsibility to teach you how to work at mega-corporation for minimum wage, it should be their responsibility to teach you how to find a job, and how to manage your finances once you have acquired said job.
Also. Google may be a resource to find near all answers to your problems, but it's not something that should replace school. Ever.
