College should be a place where you learn more of the "academic" aspect in your life. Because by then you've already figured or beginning to figure out what you want to do in life. That's when you pick your major and start to learn things for a job that you wanna take on. If I wanna do something in marine biology, what is math going to help me with? This is just my opinion but sometimes I think some things we do in school is just pointless.

The Next Step
I hate how high school is all about passing classes. I mean I get that's how school is, but shouldn't it be more preparing yourself to what's to come in the future? I feel schools more about memorizing and test taking. That's how we get our grades. But what about people that aren't necessarily the best test takers, like me? Does that mean I'm stupid? No. When it comes down to it I think we should be learning more about what's really gonna matter in a couple of years rather than some stuff we learn about now. In a couple of years I'm gonna have to deal with taxes and voting and a bunch more "adult stuff," like shouldn't more of that stuff be taught in school? I guess that's just my opinion but I think it would be way more beneficial for students in the end.

ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you. Why aren't teachers teaching us more about the real world and preparing us for how life is going to be. I often find myself memorize things for a test rather than understanding the concept before and after the test I forget everything I just learned or remembered. I noticed that I never get to really learn the specific lesson because teachers are always in a rush to get to the next chapter or subject.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 110% I feel like all of highschool has just been memorizing and regurgitating information. There isn't a lot of in depth discussions and analysis at the basic classes and sometimes AP is just too much. I don't agree with you on the whole thing about math because learning those skills can in fact help you in any subject. Also I feel like highschool is an alright transition, but not everyone is like you and knows what they want to do with their life. It's not exactly super helpful but keep in mind it is a transition to get to college.
