Across time zones, age groups and socioeconomic lines, young people appear to be hitting a breaking point that developmental psychologists are calling the "pandemic wall." Here's why and what to do about it.
Don't get me wrong, learning is important, but I don't have tons of fond memories of great learning opportunities in school.
Idk. Personally, as a kid I wouldn't want to learn how to do taxes. I'd rather take the integral of a polynomial function.
I had several of these classes in middle and high school, and it ranges from Jordan Peterson style "rules for living" to "practice doing office work". The latter can be actually useful and fun, if done well and for a job you're interested in, but I also don't want the entire school system geared around that.
And also teach them a lot about the natural world outside of society, so they respect and understand that it's a part of them they can't live without and not something to exploit and destroy.
