Why do our schools make us learn about things we never learn again?

It isn't always about the facts and figures you are learning.  A lot of stuff we take in become essential building blocks for other types of knowledge later in life.\n\nIt isn't all bogus, it isn't all exactly pertinent either - it's a mixture of both because no two people will ever experience life and learning the same so we need a broad foundation to move forward with as we head toward college or life's experiences.\n\nCheers

They aren't simple things to learn. They're hard to learn, and it's a long and complicated process, made more complicated by bureacacy. That's why I moved to a different country to teach.

Children don't learn.  It is taught to them.\n\nCoach

...because they don't get a good education.

Because usually the teacher knows some things and the kids want to or are supposed to learn those things.\n\nThe art of it is in HOW the info is transmitted. I think its best when the kids are into it asking many many endless questions. The teacher can tell what he or she knows, do fieldtrips, get experts to come in and talk, and show the kids how to find answers and info on their own.

School is boring because the teachers have to cram all the information in you in a couple of years and they don't know what specific information to give you to prepare you for what you want to be later on in life.  So they give an overview of almost everything! Unfortunately, only a small portion of this knowledge base will catch your interest and will make you want to pursue that field when you graduate.

Cuz the teachers are boring! But I agree with Holly T that history is fascinating to learn cuz it will show you the fact of life. Why things happened this way and that way. Further more history does make and shape recent the world.

Perhaps they are critical points, at which you learned something...\n\nIf you learned nothing, there are none!

I think it's because young people are used to having someone else do for them and they haven't had enough life experiences to weigh against what they've been taught in school by their left-leaning teachers and professors. I have found that the "FACTS" do not support many things that I was taught in school. Liberals have misused this mechanism of learning by chanting over and over as fact things that are simply untrue.

the role of history ed is to help u understand what people went throw, go throw, what happened in the past is VERY important so that we can prevent it in the future!it is there so that we learn our rights & understand that life isn't easy & that we got to do our best to help everyone and so that we can live better and progress history is a VERY important subluct to learn & if U have an awesome history teacher it can also be EASY,  sorta fun, & sorta interesting!

Those who only learn in school are truely pitiful. Every day should be a learning experience. People were meant to learn things, not go through life without thinking.

I think we could learn from the extremists of society. They "harness" the children in religious schools. It works for them. But we are too busy with things like personal rights of teachers and students to be good at training our youth to recognize real social value.

We all learn in a variety of ways.  Some of us are more visual.  Others do best by listening.  Many of us, and I think our schools sometimes forget this, are best with physical activities.

The fact is that after years of learning, someone along the line decided to take the fun out of it and give you book work, busy work, and other things.  A lot of teachers are burned out with teaching kids who are burned out and don't want to learn anymore and it just becomes a vicious cycle.  \n\nStick in there.  This is your life.  You are going to make it whatever you want it to be.  Your teachers are not going to dictate your life forever.  Whatever you choose to learn will either help or hinder you, so make what you have left of school count.  Make school about you, because your grades, your test scores, your choices will only affect you.  You can make your life better after you get done with this drudgery called school if you take it seriously now.\n\nJust do it for you and nobody else.

self learning by observation supported with open school education. attending classes is a waste thing for intelligent children.
