Oh gosh! I got goosebumps when I read your comment...
I can get so cross. We can educate children on topics that are totally irrelevant to what they need.

I had history as a subject. If I compare it to the history of today, it is totally irrelevant and doesn't mean a thing.

If only I had had life skills as a subject, I would have been better prepared for life.

Time is not changing; it has changed.
