More details

Education is in need of reform. I have no idea what my human rights or what the laws of my land are? How to tax or a mortgage, no clue where to start, surely this is what we should be taught in our schools?

How is it possible that I can tell you what colour magnesium burns but not how to look after my health?

If the government can not tell us how it is applicable to people's lives then it should not be mandatory to learn.

The solution to the problem? Educate us in things that will actual help us in life, teach us all 30 of our human rights and if a subject doesn't directly help make that subject optional.
