Today we talked about the memorization and how especially in high school you were programmed to memorialize opposed to getting hands on experience and training about how the world works. In high school the teachers only want you to go to the next level and don’t really help plan your future. High school is based on a mandatory curriculum that you must take and is filled with basic courses that you most likely will never use again. High school you learn subjects and courses only for the purpose of saying you learned it with no further meaning after high school. There are some beneficial aspects to high school memorization such as science if you chose to go down a career path in medicine etc. Most high schools learn a unit and then never go back to that unit so mesmerizing it just to pass the test becomes pointless. In conclusion the group spent most of the time discussing the lack of preparation most high schools give their students prior to sending them off into their futures.
