EDIT: A lot of you are reading into the tweet while still somehow agreeing with the overall message. No one is saying we should eliminate music programs or that we should teach toddlers about healthcare plans. The tweet is making this thing called a --checks notes-- joke, that also conveys the message that schools could teach more practical skills that young adults will need going forward.

Never ever replace arts, its why most kids enjoy school. but instead, create a semester long class called life that is required every year.

  • year 9, we pay bills, get paid work for the 45min classes to earn wages.
  • year 10, you’re now paying bills AND trying to buy a house.
  • Year 11, yeah, shit gets real: we OWN a fuckin house! and shits breaks, but you also have kids and your dumbass never went to college… oh and you somehow decide randomly you belong in WSB.
  • Year 12, Retirement, learning how to live on a measly $3000 a month for $5000 of bills.

clearly, we’d reward kids for taking college levels, but also trades. but you’d learn how to buy a house, trade stocks, pay bills with what you have…
