This is stupid for many reasons.

School shootings don't happen because of the school system - they happen because of gun restriction laws in the US. I don't see why you're complaining about the free education you get when there are many in the world who don't get an education at all.

It's also stupid because you don't say what to change. You talk about how not everyone wants a career in biology, and fair enough, but it doesn't mean you don't need to learn it. General knowledge and aptitude is useful in life, and even if you don't do anything biology or math or science related whatsoever, it allows colleges and employers to see not only how good you are at said subjects, but how much effort you put into things you don't enjoy - they're good indicators of working attitude.

If you want to change the school system a good start would be suggesting some changes.

I've shared it in the past with my media, and I am now bringing it back up after so many more school shootings and what not.[DOUBLEPOST=1569103658][/DOUBLEPOST]

What school has honestly taught me is teenagers are the worse for bullying, harassment and judgement.
Friends can easily replace you if you are not up to their standards. And all of this typically ends when/if you go into collage.
Not just because you have to pay for it, but because everyone actual focus on what's important and not so much their media life. That's the first stage before adult hood.

Also I am "so" glad I know about our history on wars, instead about how to balance your payments, how to pay bills, cook, clean, and all other essentials to life. Having knowledge helps, don't get me wrong, but schools are teaching the wrong thing.
30-40 years ago it was simply get the answer right and you're done. Now, it's get the correct answer with the correct method AND break down the number to the lowest possible decimal, explain your work.

Use google.

In-case school didn't teach you how to google: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+pay+taxes+us

Schools do need to be updated, but not to prevent school shootings. More to actually educate the youth on subjects relevant to their career paths, rather than giving them overwhelming amounts of homework, study guides, and notes. People in my class are staying up for 2, 3, 4 days straight just for schoolwork and surviving off of caffeine pills. That's not healthy or ethical.

As much as I agree with you on this especially since I spend lots of my free time just learning shit there’s a lot of stuff taught in school I’m just not going to use later on in life at all

I agree people should only learn what they choose. I don't want anything to do with science/history in that subject.

In real life sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do or may not be motivated to do. Not everyone can live their dream job to pay their bills. School teaches you that it's not about what you want and it never will be. Don't like being bullied? That's life, sometimes people fuck with you. Deal with it, show them not to. God I hate Liberals.
