10 Things We Don’t Learn In School — Sigh Of A School-Bitten

Why don’t schools teach us to deal with the failure and be happy?

I wasn’t taught how to get a job

but I can remember dissecting a frog

I wasn’t taught how to pay tax

but I know loads about Shakespeare’s classics

Ah! Boyinaband said everything through the lyrics

Do you ever feel like your school doesn’t prepare you for the real world?

You’re not alone.

I feel the same!

I feel bad to say that my school never taught me how to manage money?

Trust me, those plus, minus sums weren’t enough. And oh, how can I forget Algebra that I never used in real life.

In this blog post, I’ll be discussing ten things that schools don’t teach us in their curriculum.

1) It’s ok to fail at something

Failing at a task is just part of life and can teach us important lessons about ourselves and what we want from our lives. We may even learn more than when we succeeded!

But Nahhh! I was always taught THE WINNER IS ONE WHO GETS GOOD GRADES.

And that’s how your school steals self-confidence.

2) How to manage money?

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to learn!

Managing money isn’t easy. You need a bit of financial intelligence for this…

It’s important to understand the psychological aspects of money management and some basic financial concepts so they can apply them in everyday life.

But Nah, learning about metamorphic and sedimentary rocks was more important. (After all, that’s what we do in real life) -___-

3) How to be successful?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for this, as success means different things to different people. However, there are some common traits that many successful people share.

Again NAHH! I was never taught about Bill Gates or Warren Buffets, but I know everything about Julius Caesar and his life…

Successful people usually have a strong work ethic, are passionate about what they do, and set goals and plan how to achieve them. (I didn’t learn a thing about it)

But Nahhh! Our schools emphasize learning whether the earth is round or flat…

4) How to find happiness?

We all want to be happy, but sometimes we can’t figure out why we’re unhappy when many good things are in our lives.

You must learn how to identify what makes you happiest and remember these moments so that they may guide your future choices.

However Nahhh! I was never taught about it. I was focused on physical education and extra co-curricular activities…

A study has shown that happiness is a learned skill, so it’s never too late to learn how to be happier!

Our schools have constantly told us that we should only focus on studies for a better future but what about our present?

H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S!

5) Nobody taught us about human rights

Human rights are important to protect, as they ensure that all people are treated fairly and with respect.

But Nahhh! I was never taught about it in my school days. Our schools focus more on teaching us the duties than the rights of a human being…

Many different human rights cover a wide range of areas, such as the right to freedom of speech and expression, a fair trial, and the right to education.

BTW, do you know there are 30 basic human rights?

6) How to deal with stress?

We all experience stress and it’s normal, but if it becomes a regular occurrence, it can damage our health.

There are many different ways of dealing with stress, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and talking to someone about how you’re feeling.

But Nahhh! I was never taught about it. And we were always forced to study more and get good grades…

However, if you’re not feeling stressed, that’s ok too!

“Schools should teach us the different ways of dealing with stress.” — I wish my school were like this!!

7) How to make decisions?

Making decisions is an essential part of life, and many people find it difficult. However, some simple techniques can make decision-making easier.

For example: making pros and cons list or using the ‘secret weapon’ technique (where you imagine someone else telling you their advice about the situation).

But Nahhh! I was never taught about it. In fact, our schools focus more on learning ISOTOPES.

Decision-making can be tricky, but you’ll get better at it with a bit of practice!

“Schools should teach us how to make decisions.” — This would have been so useful for me!

8) How to deal with failure?

Nobody is perfect, and everyone experiences failure at some point in their lives. It’s how we deal with this failure that determines our success.

Failure can be demoralizing, but it’s important to remember that it’s a natural part of life, and everybody goes through it.

Schools should teach us how to deal with failure and not just successes.

But Nahhh! I was never taught about it in my school days. In fact, our schools focus more on being the WINNER all the time.

It’s ok to fail as long as you learn from your mistakes and keep trying!

9) How to be yourself?

One of the most important things you’ll learn in life is being yourself. This means being comfortable in your own skin and not trying to be someone else.

But Nahhh! I was never taught about it. In fact, our schools focus more on making us CO-WORKERS who always agree with everyone all the time.

Everyone is different, and it’s important to remember this to be confident in your own abilities!

“Schools should teach us how to be ourselves.”

So what? We were not taught about these things because no one knows how important they are for our lives.

We focus on studies so that our future will be bright, but what about now?

What about the present?

Schools should teach us more life skills to actually live a better life.

10) How to find your passion?

Finding your passion can be difficult, but it’s an important part of life as it provides you with a sense of purpose.

It may take time and effort to discover what you’re passionate about, but everything else will seem easier once found.

But Nahhh! I was never taught about this in my school days. In fact, our schools focus more on two professions “DOCTOR and ENGINEER.”

So, what about other professions?

Are they less in any way?

They aren’t.

Leaving you here with a question,

“Do you feel your life would be less complicated if your school taught you all this at an early stage?

I’d love to know your thoughts.
