Ikr! They're all like "Follow the rules and play fair" in gym, and everywhere else it's all "Always follow directions; Don't talk back to teachers; Don't bother explaining, got to the principle; Oh, you fought back in self defense? DETENTION FOR BOTH OF YOU!" and so much more. And cool, I learned how to simplify exponents, but what about learning how to taxes? Or how to manage money? Or maybe teach us how to be SOCIAL in, oh idk, SOCIAL STUDIES? Instead of dumping us in daycare to play with toys, how about teach us early on about SOCIAL SKILLS like "how to approach someone and make friends?" Or "Ideas for keeping up a conversation" and "Avoiding awkward silences". Who cares about what the differences between "solutions and mixtures are?" What good would we be to society if the only things we know are about the years the civil war battles happened? And along with social skills and how to be a contributing member to society, how about defending ourselves against criminals? Or maybe teaching us about wildlife and what plants and animals to avoid. And how to cook and fix common household objects? And what about if we want to join the military? How about making a class to teach us strategic ways-like an effective way to win dodgeball, for instance- and use that to help our countries in any possible wars?

thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
