gollark: I think the "random facts about taxes and whatever" life skills should be learned independently and the vague general stuff like "working in teams" would be best learned through actually doing it seriously.

gollark: I would of course replace the English lesson badness with bringing arbitrary books in to read yourself.

gollark: School but instead of reading random poems you memorise 'life skills' would be quite ae ae ae, as they say.

gollark: If I were to redesign school, it would be much less regimented (you would not be grouped by year etc.), more flexible (an actually sane schedule and more/earlier choice of subjects), and focus on more general skills (not overly specific reading of books, or learning procedures for specific maths things, or that sort of thing). Additionally, more project-based work and more group stuff.

gollark: Those are specific uses of some of those things, yes. Which is why those are important. Although programming isn't intensely mathy and interest is trivial.
