Now that its 10 years since I last set foot in a school, I hold three opinions about the public school system (in Germany; check yourself what applies to your country):

  1. Schools are an institution where adolescents are detained during the day, so their parent(s) can work and not worry about their children setting fire to the city.
  2. A lot of the curriculum doesn’t prepare you for life. And it’s not meant to. Instead it forces you to engage with a topic for a longish period of time without the possibility to quit. That is supposed to allow you to see if you find the problems that topic poses interesting and if you like finding solutions for these problems.
  3. Schools should put more emphasis on life skills.
