Miscellaneous
In this one, I deep-dive into schools and examine the value they bring to children in modern society. I believe that our education system is partially flawed, teaching students only mechanical ‘hard’ skills while leaving ‘soft’ skills out of the picture; an issue compounded by snowflake Millennials screaming, ‘we’re never going to use that again.’ The intertwinement of capitalism, religion, and gender in our schools also irks me, as these once centres for academic excellence and personal growth become increasingly institutionalised. They say that ‘to live is to learn,’ but does this apply to our schools?
