Yet another topic people will claim they never learned in school that was actually taught in school. This is great don't get me wrong, I just know some kids will ignore this week and then complain in the future .
Edit: I know the problem is the system, but I'm taking into account the individual element. I do believe things like this should be implemented but don't be surprised when people grow up and complain they were never taught this. Our current education system is actively getting worse and stuff like this needs to be addressed nationwide.
Editwo: Maybe I just have a bad take. I'm against changing what I originally said so I'll say it here. I'm just frustrated at the world also it may be my autism. I have to remember if you have to explain something that means your point didn't get across which means rethink what you said.
Complains the person who didn't even bother looking up how wrong they are, to be able to ignore it..
Perhaps you should consider how our school systems, and societies, are structured (not only to produce worker drones, but to do so in a classist, racist, sexist and ableist ways to ensure some people are always "left behind" to serve as an "example" for those who "don't work hard enough"), before you so gleefully repeat its propaganda and blame the kids the system fails instead of the system itself.
Gross.
What? I'm speaking from personal experience. I'm not blaming the kids I just know hearing fellow adults speak on this about "things we never learned in school,". I'm making the point that this is a positive but I know people are going to not retain this information. 1/3 of this country vehemently supports a traitor. What propaganda though?
As far as I can tell my high school was basically college level compared to the stories I hear from other people. I went to a public school in a university town, and a lot of teachers were former or future university teachers, so maybe I just got lucky.
We did cover the reason for unions back in the 90s, as it was in the history book and not just something the teacher included.
