Why is our education system so flawed? I feel like half of the things I have learned in school are useless things that I will never use in the real world. Why do we have to learn about things that don’t mean anything to us and that are not important or needed for what we want to go into. I want to go into criminal justice for example so why do I need to know trigonometry or sit through an American history class. Why can’t I only take classes that interest me and that will benefit me in my career. Why don’t schools teach us how to invest, manage money, buy a home, buy insurance, or be financially independent, instead I feel like schools teach us things that we truly do not need to know.
