Completely agree, your only learning to pass the stupid tests, not learning anything actually useful.

Out of all the things I've learnt at school, I've probably only needed about 5% of it, minus the obvious reading/writing that you learn really young.

If you were to ask me what K is in the periodic table, all I remember is I think its one of the ones that tricks to trick you, just like lead (I think is PB or something close)

They need to make education more relative to life.
