The criticism
Several people have said that teaching the list of subjects mentioned above is not the job of the school, it is the duty of the parents.
"People always love to comment "school's shouldn't teach these things...they should be taught by the PARENTS!"
Bad take.
School's aren't going anywhere any time soon. We can either improve them, or we can sit back while they continue to damage the kids who depend on them," it replied.
The twitter thread is getting more engagements with suggestions like spreadsheets, driving a car, sales, fact-checking and more.
The tweet thread is a reflection of the dissent around the education system. The relevance of the education system in preparing a person to battle through daily struggles has always been questioned.
Questions have been raised on the applicability of the subjects kids are taught at school and parents seek answers for why the education system does not include important and basic aspects of life like taxation, investment, cooking, gardening which are equally important as other subjects and have more purpose in a person’s life.
