After graduating school and starting your job everyone realises one thing. School did not teach them a lot. You learnt about Pythagorean theorem, you know what chlorophyll is and you know how to remember a lot of dates and numbers for a short period of time but you have no idea how to open a bank account or honestly who to call to make a doctor’s appointment.

Here are some things you wish you learnt in school

1. That giving exams, test and quizzes doesn’t prepare you for work life

2. Sometimes not getting what you want is actually beneficial for you

3. It’s important to work hard, but it’s even more important to work smart

4. Failing is really not the end of the world

Everyone fails

5. How to live on a budget

6. It’s not important to be one of the cool kids

7. Holding on to hate isn’t beneficial to anyone

8. Not everyone who is nice to you is your friend

9. How to deal with assholes

10. Not everyone will like you and that’s fine

11. How to not be an asshole

12. People are selfish, and sometime you will be too

13. How to change a tyre

14. You will be judged for things you never thought about for example Money/looks/social standing

You’re not a loser

15. How to write a cheque + paying bills + paying taxes

16. Learn how to cook

17. That life keeps moving on even if you don’t want to

18. It’s never to late to start something new

19. Your family is more important than your friends

20. Your parents do a lot for you and you will only realise it when they are gone

Is there anything else that schools should teach children?
