15 to 20 years of full time education never teaches us about saving money and relationship

I almost quit my University after the first yr i joined. And now even friends are going with master degree, and i ve master my spoken Chinese incase of having no job. Ive quit job 2times after i have another plan to go for. That day i dididn't quit college and the result is i did spend 1.5 yrs working to pay off the student loans. Friday i quit my job again to build up my dream and my mom say its risky, this time im not gonna listen to her cuz ive going around and see how people ends their life through education. Yeap like what u say. And whats more is vietnamese education is fake. Teachers love corruption also, what the hell can they teach, especially government school

I think that saving money and relating to others are not taught at school but at home. If you give love to a child instead of money, he will learn. And learning to save money means to live within a budget and not being stingy.

There are somethings that just can not be learned in school, they are learned in life.

you may right because while we study our parents spend money behind us to become successful and most of are just enjoy life in love and travel so its not good and some are make relationship in teen age which is not good because in that age they dont know what is good and what is bad,how to earn and how to maintain relationship.

Money and savings are taught at home generally. But I do feel that what I have learnt is waste as I never apply them in real life. Rather if they taught about saving and balance sheet in school itself, we need not learn it separately. Formal education is to make you employable and just learn some soft skills and qualities in life.

Thankfully my son who is still in school getting his PhD knows bout saving money. His girlfriend is now living with him at school, they rent a house so I know that while his school load is great he is happy, which makes me happy.

I am not sure about the primary school and secondary school now, but I see some kindergartens here do teach the kids how to manage the money, some basic financial classes are given. There are lot more that are not taught in schools. I always read that education should teach us how to think, but not what to think, I doubt this is what our education system is. I guess I was taught how to sit for exams, but not how to learn. Well, perhaps not too, we might be taught that exams are important, scores are important, then we needed to find out the ways how to pass the exams, but not many students learned this by themselves. Well, this is one of the many reasons I decided to homeschool my children. Nowadays there are many graduates can't handle the stress at work, even those with Master degree. Actually I think students were just put there to do it themselves, but they might not be taught how to release or manage the stress. It seems like we are all learning these by ourselves, even in school.

Money cannot replace family and marriage, Being in debt is a serious problem facing many people who go to college.

That is definitely not something that education and school will never teach. It's really at home that this can be taught. It's something that my husband and I hope to be able to teach our kids, as we think it's important for them to know, and it'll be beneficial for them.

What bothered me with education all my years is they think providing it with out capitalism is handouts. The problem with that logic is society is going to pay one way or another, Might as well provide it to everyone because if you do not people will make you pay much more in the long run. Simple if companies really cared about their company. They would make sure people were not wasting their time and not getting robbed by the education system as a whole. Never will understand that rigged game where they create their own problem. Thanks for posting this because people need to hear it.

What we go through in schools and collages is not education. It is a practice, which we follow under a certain system. Copybook education never impart the basic knowledge of life, and the heavy certificates have less to do with the way situations behave. Knowledge is power, and that knowledge could be gathered even without a customary education.

School is mostly for academics. The other stuff is learned from our family life.

Some things are better learned from family, I think. Success in a relationship is perhaps not something which can be taught at all, although basic money management is a subject worth discussing in schools. Education can be very expensive though - if you don't get a high-paying job after college no financial training in the world can help all that much.

This is so true. It is a major failure of education in my country too. I guess the thought was throughout the years that these values are taught in the home. Nothing could be further from the truth.
