#003 The Education System
“Why am I learning all these stuffs?” This is what young Garth (the host) kept asking himself when he was still in school.
Today’s episode of Truth 4 The Youth Podcast is all about the bad side of the school system that no one dares to talk about. If you’ve been listening to the previous episodes, Garth has been very vocal about his deep aversion of the school system. You shouldn’t miss this one also, for he enumerates what disgusts him of this system and how the young ones have been greatly affected, if not scarred, by it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The school system doesn't teach you how to deal with real day-to-day problems you encounter once you exit. How do you handle your finances - the budgeting, paying debts, etc.? How do you juggle different jobs? How to be an entrepreneur?
The idea of teamwork isn't properly taught in the school system. It's very skewed. The system invites competitiveness. It turns it head away from the concept of collaboration and selflessness.
The school system creates division. You get harsh punishments for cheating. You get ridiculed because of a low grade. You get judged by people around you. It affects the mentality of the student.
Don't let the grading system dictate what your future is. This is absurd. To put into perspective, many successful entrepreneurs weren't good in school. We’re talking about billionaires and millionaires. They helped themselves, it wasn’t the school system.
BEST MOMENTS
“Some of this stuff doesn’t fit. Some of this stuff doesn’t matter. Why am I learning all these stuffs?”
“They’re not teaching the core skills. They’re diverting our young people.”
“The basic education you need – you need to learn to read, write, and arithmetic.”
