A thicc list of what schools NEED to teach
Seriously … if we learnt these things in school, we’d be able to adult a lot better.
(Also I will continually add to this, so check it out from time to time)
________
1. FINANCE.
Ie. 101 on debt, liabilities, loans, mortgage and anything else applicable to adult tings.
2. CRITICAL THINKING.
Instead of feeding us information, teach us how to objectively analyse and make decisions. Ie. How to spot fake news.
3. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
Ie. How to recognise your own emotions + needs, and those of others. How to practice self awareness (how do your thoughts affect your behaviour and actions? How to regulate impulses and negative thoughts.
4. PROJECT TIME
Not a subject, but blocked out time for students to work on a project of their choosing. They can mix science with maths with english with dance… idk. But get that interdisciplinary brain on, because in the real world, everything’s interconnected.
