Comments on: Schooling…(UK terms but relevant elsewhere!) http://www.mixedmatt.co.uk/2007/11/13/schoolinguk-terms-but-relevant-elsewhere/ Just my view on the world :) Thu, 20 May 2010 05:15:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: mixedmatt http://www.mixedmatt.co.uk/2007/11/13/schoolinguk-terms-but-relevant-elsewhere/comment-page-1/#comment-544 mixedmatt Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:38:42 +0000 http://www.mixedmatt.com/archives/128#comment-544 I was going to write even more about this but the article would go on forever and be a tad boring. But yes, What you say is right. School teaches you how to pass exams then out. I've found higher education better (not sure how university will be) so far. Some people aren't academic so... school and theory lessons may not be for everyone. If there were subjects more practically applied like practical science, maths etc maybe the country wouldn't have a skills shortage. Would be good to see your thoughts on your blog :) I was going to write even more about this but the article would go on forever and be a tad boring.

I'm in Further Education at the moment and that is slightly better but we need to tell people that doctors and lawyers are not what we all need to be. Plumbing courses, building, architect courses.
