[00:09.00]I wasn't taught how to get a job
[00:15.21]but I can remember dissecting a frog
[00:16.23]I wasn't taught how to pay tax
[00:17.91]but I know loads about Shakespeare's classics
[00:19.68]I was never taught how to vote they devoted that time to defining isotopes
[00:21.60]I wasn't taught how to look after my health
[00:22.62]but mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
[00:23.76]Never spent a lesson on current events
[00:27.51]instead I studied The Old American West
[00:29.79]I was never taught what laws there are.
[00:31.20]I was never taught what laws there are.
[00:32.25]Let me repeat -I was not taught the laws for the country I live in,
[00:34.68]but I know how Henry the VIII killed his women.
[00:38.16]Divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived glad that's in my head instead of financial advice
[00:40.59]I was shown the wavelengths of different hues of light
[00:42.51]but I was never taught my human rights
[00:43.80]Apparently there's 30, do you know them?
[00:44.67]I don't Why the hell can't we both recite them by rote?!
[00:47.07]I know igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks
[00:49.35]Yet I don't know squat about trading stocks
[00:50.82]Or how money works at all -where does it come from?
[00:52.29]Who controls it?
[00:52.77]How does the thing that motivates the world function?
[00:54.15]not taught how to budget and disburse my earnings I was too busy rehearsing cursive.
[01:24.36]Didn't learn how much it costs to raise a kid or what an affidavit is
[01:28.11]but I spent days on what the quadratic equation is
[01:30.21]negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac over 2a That's insane, that's absolutely insane.
[01:35.79]They made me learn that over basic first aid
[01:37.89]How to recognise the most deadly Mental disorders //or diseases with preventable causes //
[01:40.53]How to buy a house with a mortgage //
[01:41.73]if I could afford it ‘cause abstract maths was deemed more important than advice that would literally save thousands of lives
[01:53.64]but it's cool, ‘cause now I could tell you if the number of unnecessary deaths caused by that choice was prime.
[01:56.64]Never taught present day practical medicines,
[02:01.74]but I was told what the ancient hippocratic method is"I've got a headache, the pain is ceaseless what should I take?"
[02:09.21]umm... maybe try some leeches?"Could we discuss domestic abuse and get the facts or how to help my depressed friend with their mental state?"
[02:13.38]Ummm... no but learn mental maths because"you won't have a calculator with you every day!"
[02:16.08]They say it's not the kids, the parents are the problem
[02:17.85]Then if you taught the kids to parent that's the problem solved then!
[02:21.00]All this advice about using a condom but none for when you actually have a kid when you want one
[02:25.08]I'm only fluent in this language, for serious?
[02:26.43]The rest of the world speaks two, do you think I'm an idiot?
[02:28.29]They chose the solar over the political system
[02:29.70]So like a typical citizen now I don't know what I'm voting on which policies exist,
[02:34.20]or how to make them change mais oui, je parle un peu de Francais
[02:37.59]So at 18, I was expected to elect a representative For a system I had never ever ever ever been presented with
[02:40.35]But I won't take it
[02:40.80]I'll tell everyone my childhood was wasted
[02:41.76]I'll share it everywhere how I was"educated"
[02:44.91]And insist these pointless things #DontStayInSchool
