what did i learn in the classroom?

While thinking about futuristic education for the last post, a little reflection back to my education, inevitably, happened. And I realized that, when I came out of my 16* years in classrooms, I :

• knew nothing about time management
• could not prioritize tasks
• had little idea about money
• had no clue about what kind of career i'd really like to purse
• had no idea what my career choices were (unless you want to count "doctor or engineer")
  
• didn't understand politics
• didn't understand government in any practical sense
  
• didn't know my basic rights or responsibilities as a citizen (i do remember memorizing some stuff for my 5th grade Civcs class, though)
  
• had little organizational or leadership experience
• didn't know anything about nutrition or exercise
  
• had no idea how to do research or complete a project
• had no confidence to stand up and speak to a group of people (it still hurts!)
• had no "extra curricular" skills (still don't)
• had no clue about art of any form (still don't)

Is it me, or was my education a bit off the mark?

Okay, not all was bad. I did pick up some good math and science skills. The math skills do help me out till today, both in my job and personal life (especially finances). I also (hopefully, obviously!) picked up some decent English writing skills - that's helping in griping about the system today ;)

(* I am not counting KG or the stupid extra year I spent in 6th grade, because I was "under aged")
