If the wrong subjects are being taught, then how come some people are not failing in the education system?
I think its more a case that you arent taught the benefits of it during high school. I dont recall anyone ever asking me what I wanted to do when I was older, and being taught how to aim for it. I was just fortunate that I made the right choice when I left school that i did definatly want to go to college, but I had no idea what. I nearly ended up doing BTEC's in Music, and thankfully I didnt, and luckily at college they drill it into your head that you need good grades for uni, and so here I am at uni, when I didnt even know what choices I had other than that.
I think the High school stage is the failing part, and if i'm not mistaken gordon brown is bringing economics and things into the school curriculum is he not? Which I guess is quite useful. I still dont have a clue about how to get a mortgage and a loan or anything like that, its like important life skills dont matter.
