Are you content with the way people are raised nowadays?

What's your view in regards to the way which people are raised nowadays?

From child to young adult; what about the different school subjects, are you content with what's teached, or would you like some change?

I for my part would like a subject on self sufficiency; learning the basics of constructing, preparing and cooking a meal, canning, growing your own crops etc cetera as well as working with your hands, some basic skills. Learning about a healthy lifestyle and having dieticians give classes about it on a regular basis, things like that.

I think that I would have benefitted much more from things like that than some of the things I've had, such as; Religion, French and Artistic orientation.

And what about norms and values? Are you content with how young adults behave nowadays?

I agree we could be taught more useful tools. Few people understand nutrition as well as they think they do. Or the benefits to exercise.

There's a really bad level of entitlement I notice from almost all generations so I don't think it's just a "young persons" problem. And more often than not (despite what social media shows you) I think the real world corrects that pretty rapidly, when people start getting jobs etc. I don't think it's a nowadays specific thing, I think across all generations, bad parents raise kids badly, those kids then learn the hard way. But in the interim those kids tend to be problematic and lack respect for others.

It's a complicated issue as some of the problem lies in systemic socioeconomic disparity. Why do the rich get richer? Because they learnt finance, why do the poor stay poor? Because they (in my view deliberately) havn't been taught how to look after their money or themselves. (But that's a real simple way for anyone to control a population, keep them stupid and subservient).

I think the curriculum absolutely needs addressing to include basic life skills, such as finance management, basic nutrition, understanding exercise etc. but that (in my view) is counter to the objective of population control.
