    Agreed. School focuses too much on stem. It should be there to prepare you for life. Go to Uni if you want to advance in stem.

    School should also teach other basics like taxes, finance and budgeting.

      And the S part of STEM is pretty important for actually understanding the issues facing voters (and our world)

      And the T part of STEM is pretty important for actually functioning in the modern world of computing.

        I’m not saying totally ignore STEM. But do 12th graders really need to know logarithms? Maybe take a few weeks to calculate your taxes instead and understand how tax brackets work.
