I wasn't taught how to get a job, but i can remember dissecting a frog, I want taught how to pay tax, but i know loads about Shakespeare's classics, i was never taught how to vote, they devoted that time to defining isotopes, I wasn't taught how to look after my health, but the mitochondria is the power house of the cell, never spent a lesson on current events, instead i studied the old american west, I was taught what laws there are, I was never taught what laws there are, let me repeat-I was never taught the laws of the country i live in, but i know how henry the VII killed his women, divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived, glad thats in my head instead of financial advice, I was shown the wavelengths of different hues of light, but i was never told my human rights, apparently theres 30, do you know them?, i don't, why the hell cant we both recite by rote, I know igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, yet i don't know squat about trading stocks, or how money works at all, where does it come from, how does the thing that motivates the world function, not how to budget and disperse my earnings, I was too busy rehearsing cursive, didn't learn how much it cost to raise a kid, or what an affidavit is, but i spent days on what the quadratic equation is, negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4a over 2a, thats insane, that absolutely insane they made me learn that over basic aid, how to recognize the most deadly mental disorders, or diseases with preventable causes, how to buy a house with a mortgage, if i could afford it, because abstract maths was deemed more important, than advice that would literally save thousands of lives, but its cool because now i can tell you if the number of unnecessary deaths caused by that choice was prime, never taught present day practical medicines, but i was told what the ancient hippocratic method is "I've got a headache the pain Is ceaseless. What should i take" um.. Maybe try some leaches.. Could we discuss domestic abuse to get the facts or how to help my friend with their mental state? Um... No but learn mental maths because "you wont have a calculator with you everyday"  they say its not the kids the parents are the problem.then you taught the kids to parent thats the problem solved then!! All this advice about using a condom but none for when you actually have a kid when you want one, I'm only fluent in this language. For serious? The rest of the world speaks two. Do you think I'm am idiot? They chose the solar over political system, so like a typical citizen i don't know what I'm voting on, which policies exists and how to make them change, mais oui, je parle un peu de francais, So at 18 i was expected to elect a representative, for a system i had never ever ever been presented with but i wont take it, I'll tell everyone my childhood was wasted, ill share it everywhere how i was "educated" And insist these pointless things
