Honestly as far as school goes, it doesn’t really teach us what is essential in life, or things that we need to know like about credit, buying a car, applying for a loan or anything like that. The only essential things you need to know from school are counting, adding subtracting, multiplying, and percentages . In English all you need is grammar basic writing skills and reading. Other than that, school doesn’t teach you about life and how it really is in the world and you’re just forced to figure it out as you go m.. which is very messed up considering you spend all of your child Hood and teenage years in school just to be grown and go back..
