Education

Schools teach the basic classes. Math, history, English, and science. Of course those are good to learn. It is knowledge that is always a bonus to have, however; most of what students learn in those classes are soon forgotten. Sit through the class, take notes, study the notes, take the midterm/final, and then forget. Most of what is taught may come in handy down the line, but not always. Knowing these subjects does not guarantee a succesful future. One can be a high school drop out and be able to run a sucessful buisness or major coorperation, just based off general knowledge of the world. Such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. This is not to say that one should not go to school, they should because there is no guarantee they will be successful like a few others are. But high schools should teach more practical things that will be needed once the students graduate. Such as how to buy a home, taxes, keeping track of savings/spendings, and how loans work. Those are the things that no doubt everyone will need to know after high school. In the recent years, schools have started to teach this practical knowledge. These new lessons will help students a great deal down the line.
