I heard that from Europeans talking about US schools. Anything in school that doesn't directly help you in your job is a waste of time and money.

While in Europe education is seen as something edifying that kind of raises you to another level.

    Some schools do, but seemingly not most.

    Maybe a nice TikTok series would help. Here's 30 seconds on how to spot a fraudster: they are trying to sell you something very very complex in 30 seconds (or 280 characters).

    Speaking from the UK: Yes and no.

    After 14 years of Tory scum in charge, arts education in schools is on its arse, because it doesn’t provide workers to grind into a paste once they’ve left education. Indeed, most schools are struggling like fuck because funding kept getting cut while more was being required of them.

    As a whole education here is seen as a civic duty to ensure our kids are well-equipped for life in the workforce, but the scope of the education isn’t limited to just what they’d need for that, even if the central focus is.
