I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings

Education only goes so far...Natalie Portman says it better than I do, something along the lines of, "I hate studying, but I love learning." I feel that education certainly expands your mind and gives you boundless opportunities, but I wish schools could teach you more things about life...life lessons that schools rarely teach you, which you can actually apply to life, not more numbers to solve and quantify (sorry mathematicians!)

I agree that more attention to matters of practical value are needed at the high school and university level. I find it appalling that young folks can't balance a checkbook or cook for themselves. Why was the decision made to eliminate Home Economics from the secondary school curriculum? How is the young generation expected to fend for itself when the old generation has passed on?
