More info: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Weird Facts So let’s tackle the question “Why is school so useless?”, shall we? There is a sound reason many of us dislike learning at school. Maria Sanchez writes for Save Our Schools March: “School often focuses too much on rote memorization and standardized tests rather than imparting useful life skills and knowledge.” Students feel unengaged with the curriculum because it doesn’t relate to their realities. As a child of a teacher and someone who’s dabbled in teaching kids for a few months, I have nothing but respect for teachers. I was always a stickler for the rules growing up and, most times, the teacher’s favorite. (Parental influence, wink, wink.) So I nodded and agreed with my peers when they would snicker and sneer while learning the Pythagorean theorem, but I still went ahead and learned it. That’s why many experts advocate for more interactive, hands-on learning. They say that projects, experiments, and group discussions allow the students to apply their knowledge in practical ways.
