Education System
How do you think the education system should be structured?
Here's what I think should happen to the education system (in the USA at least).
K - 8 should be more productive and cover more material.
9 - 12 should be vocational where you figure out what you want to do and start doing it.
College and beyond should be focused on what you want to do.

1. People need to stop fear-mongering over Common Core
2. There should be a compulsory personal finance class at the secondary level
3. Health education needs a bigger place in the public curriculum - especially in secondary
4. Government/Civics too. We live in a representative democracy, and we need to teach soon-to-be voters how it works
Sounds like communist.
we should all move to North Korea and dedicate our lives to the all mighty leader, our lord and savior

no what he said is pretty good, most countries (except the us) do what he said. For example Germany: You start doing what you actually want to do in the future earlier. And also there needs to be schools that separate the dumb people who dont wanna learn and smart people who want a decent job.

OT Well for one I think we need to change when summer vacation is and get the whole country to start and end classes at the same time.

We don't want to think, we want jobs.
K-5: to set up a basic understanding of material of all sorts.
6-12: in specialized schools depending on what area you want to be in, such as art, sciences, etc.
Universities: to finalize and earn a career on path chosen.

But then how will colleges get you to pay for useless cores?
