[Legacywr]

I’ve spent a summer in hospital, no sign of the heating being on.

Don't mean this rudely but I know how the system is structured. That's how I know it's pointless for most people.

Yet somehow you feel it has no basis in given children a broad education to allow them to go an and be further educated for their careers and feel the only thing that should be taught is business/IT/health. I think that shows a staggering lack of understanding of how it is structured and how it is integral to a child's developments.

I will guarantee that there will be parts of your education which you will be subconsciously using every single day which you feel is pointless. What is your current job?

What percentage of people in the UK use their secondary education in their careers? I am assuming basic reading/writing is primary school and I've already acknowledged basic IT skills. I am asking beyond that.

If you actually stop and think you will realise it's staggeringly small.

useful things i learned in school beyond basic reading and maths.

Business cash flow cash cash ready cash something we slagged of the business managemetn teacher about going on about but its served me well in life.

home economics , not the sewing nonsense, or ages spent making pastry and rou sauces, but how to chop vegetables and cook basics pasta, veg potatoes mince etc.

Ironically your two examples are what I said we should be teaching... (I worded it business/money/health).

My point was Geography, History, Music, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Maths, foreigj languages, English Lit/Lang are not used by 95% of the population after they leave education and only maths/sciences are the strict prerequisites for degrees. I could do a degree in geography or economics without a level geography or economics.
