Schools and education

I just spent my lunch with elphic
and found the conversation to be very intresting, especially the end we came to conclusion of schools not offering enough to children on day to day life, I think they should scrap most unwanted algebra crap and trade it in for something more needed like how to deal with finance, nagotiation, driving a car, verbal communication in interviews, socialism, and philosophical ways of life, finance being the top extra subject. I think the world wouldn't be in such the state it is if kids are taught how to deal with money at an early age. P.s. I didn't even know what apr meant when I left, and I bet many kids don't from this day on.
