It’s expensive to be poor

This thread just reminds me that I hate large parts of the education system. They feel the need to teach everyone Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and what some stuffy dead British poet had to say, but they don't teach money management, how to negotiate for a car, how to find the right bank, how to do a job interview, how to make a resume, how to change a car tire, how to go about getting your first apartment.

A whole lot of useless shit is taught (useless for most, not all I guess) and very very few practical things you will really need in your life.

Absolutely right, those are some of the things I would want if we ever managed to have an Education reform, along with basic cooking etc.
