Education

The problem with education is pretty much everything.From the long tedious hours to the crappy course selection,students are filled with day after day of mind numbing things that they will most likely not use in their career.What use will the majority of students find in Spanish class or Gym class? I sit through 3/4 of my classes without learning a single thing so I assume that most other people don't learn much either. If education were to  find a way to be interesting while still instructing students in what they need then the system wouldn't need reforming. The system could use a change with the hours as well, no student wants to spend 7-8 hours every day feeling like they have accomplished nothing.Dan Meyers explains that students don't learn any real math, because students can decipher the text book without learning a thing. He explains that maybe if students were interested in the subjects they were learning that they would be more inclined to learn it.
 The main problem would be the fact that curriculum doesn't know the meaning of interesting, if teachers could find a less conventional way to bring the students mind into what their learning.
