Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Saw an episode of cake wars. The theme was Minecraft.
Thought it was a little weird but cool

In space, no one can hear you cake.

It's not as awesome as it sounds.

So I'm curious, do they not teach about things like mortgages, interest rates, basic government things like voting is most schools?

I often see people complaining about how school teaches none of the such and thought that I was just lucky to be in one that did, but then I see people that not only went to the same school but sat right next to me though the classes making the same claim. We had a mandatory course that covered basic politic stuff like how to vote and what the parties were about + basically "How to get a job", and bank stuff was covered in math class. I've just always wondered if it's universally a case of people didn't want to listen when they were told math would be important in their life or if that just applies to people I went to school with and it's actually lacking elsewhere.

Edit: like I'm pretty sure I first learned about voting and how it works in grade 2, we had little class room elections with ballots that looked similar to real ones. If not grade 2 then grade 5... I just remember the room

We're not taught about mortgages and bank stuff but the rest, sure.

Voting here is so simple even a kid can do it though

That would be the floppys of the world.

Teacher: Okay class, in 1896 Reginald the Hoser was the first Canadian to not eat bacon for an entire year. We wouldn't see heroism like that again until 1988 when Brian Boitano won the gold, eh class?

Class in Unison: Eh.

Teacher: Let's celebrate your learning by going ice fishing. After all you.

Class in Unison: No, we insist. After you.

Canadia has a history?

My high school offered a "Career and Life Management" Class, often called C.A.L.M. Class.
Part of our assignments included actually researching places to rent, buy, mortgage, etc., banking, and how to write a resume. And how to kiss someone's *** so they don't fire you for sexually harassing that cute co-worker with the ginormous boobs and the t-shirts small enough to be sold at Baby Gap, while simultaneously bitching it's a hostile work environment if no one gives the *** a compliment on how nice her *** look.
Plus advanced Sex Ed.

Yes, we do. And it's steeped in the maple syrup of our fore-fathers.

The year is 151441. Humanity is on it’s last string of life. Food is scarce. The last bottle of maple syrup has expired. Hope is dying fast.

My Calm class teacher's version of advanced sex Ed was basically just yelling out "PENIS!" and "VAGINA" until it no longer made the class giggle. After about two 45 minute classes, it worked. Then we had to study from a big freaking text book about STD's, STI's, and the such.

Pretty sure it scared a few kids into leaving the class and never having sex.

Our sex ed was "dont have sex now look at all these STDs until your traumatized".

I live in a very red state.

Its okay tho 2d girls cant get STDs

Lucky class? lol

Im drank naggers

We had "Civics and Career studies" as mandatory in grade 10 which was half job hunting/keeping. The finance stuff was just rolled into math class.

The only amusing sex ed story I have is when the teacher pulled out 2 rounded wooden rods to show how to put a condom on and said "equal opportunity school, 1 white one 1 black one and as you can see they are both the same size."... but the black one was notably bigger.

I dont get it.

:3

can I have one?
