What would you have loved to learn at school?

[NathanBB]

I would say business or pet management

 

[motorbiking]

That teachers really aren't the best people to give careers advice.

 

[JP_]

IT, marketing - I might have avoided 12 years in banking.

 

[bolo 2]

Since most pupils will eventually live in their own house, I would have thought that a 2 years course in DIY techniques would have been far more beneficial to many of us rather than the old woodwork and metalwork courses that all male pupils in 4 year secondary school had to endure when I was a lad. And even those who went on to higher education would have benefitted too.

[Dork Lard]

Economics, & politics.

 

[mattylad]

Mathematics/Algebra (Yes know it's a core subject - don't ask lol)
Computing.
Plastering
Electronics
Personal finance management.
How to get the girls...

What I did not need was:
History
P.E.
Languages.

 

[conny]

General home maintenance, such as basic electrics, plumbing, decorating, (paint and wallpaper), home finance, (how to budget your wage packet based on percentages rather than actual figures as these change with the seasons!) and maybe a bit of gardening.
I think these subjects would also give you a better idea of what you might want to do career wise when you let school.

Yes. it was dire. 10 years of my life wasted.

 

[Deleted member 292770]

pretty much anything useful really. It’s still geared up to make slaves of our children. Completely nonsensical ,totally outdated and not fit for purpose .

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Piano.

Would really like to have a fraction of the ability of The Pub Piano Man, AKA Terry Miles.

But like the moth to a flame, we get drawn in.

Whether my maths teacher was wearing any underwear. She was stunning. No wonder I got rubbish grades

Herts P&D typing 'here we go again, another pointless thread ...' makes me lol. I picture a group of mates meeting in the pub each Friday night and one of them always starts an apparently pointless conversation, leading to Herts P&D saying 'here we go again!'

Rinse and repeat every Friday
