School is glorified child minding, isn't it?
I remember reading about an educative proposal. The idea was that kids doing the 2 years before university could investigate 4 areas, from a variety of angles. Of the 4 suggestions I've forgotten two, but the other 2 were The Marriage of Figaro and the Holocaust. Kids are most able to learn young. It's a great pity their lives are filled with such crap. Useless stuff about the Journey and the Destination in English. Mind numbingly boring. I did English, French, Chemistry, Physics, MathsI and MathsII, simply to be in a class I felt I would be left alone in. I had no idea what I was interested in and everyone else cared even less.
