Things should not be taught to students, people should have more of a drive to seek out and learn those things.
I hate how my high school is practically at a 6th grade level because they decide to teach things like Algebra instead of how to start a fire or how to drive or even manners and how to behave and be nice. Or how to save someone if they're choking. Because I totally need to know how to find the slope of a line or whatever, not actual good things. But you know, instead of being good kind teachers they'd rather complain about how budget cuts and not being able to buy crayons and books is stopping them from teaching worthwhile stuff. I think it's good that we dont have enough money for workbooks, means you'll actually have to get up from your desk and teach for once instead of browsing OKcupid.com while I read books about everything I want to learn.
