Todays Education System

What is what they're teaching us in school?
Like do i really need to learn a dead language like Irish? no!

Sure its great that they're trying to keep the language alive, but in fairness most people don't want to learn it. It should be an optional subject, definately not an important one like it is now.

We should only learn subjects that are relevant to what we're interested in and want to do as a career in the future.

We should do all subjects in 1st year, so we get to try them out. But after that , Instead of being in school from 8-4pm learning crap we don't need to know!

All weekdays are taken over by school, then i get 48 hours at the weekend to do what i like. That is not enough time. Weekends should be longer and school hours shorter.

Another thing is that smelly leavin cert. Obviously people learn all the subjects they do for the leavin and study just before it so that they get high marks in it to get into college or whatever. But what is the point? The marks only show that they have a good memory and are able to study. Majority of people, if they took the leaving cert a few months later again wouldnt be able to answer half of it. Because they would have forgotten everything.

So when it comes to college etc you're not going to know that stuff. So does it matter if you got a high score in your leavin? No its just a memory test, it shouldnt be important. Don't get me started on the junior cert, that thing should be banned all together.

If we were taught in a fun way, that made us listen and understand what they teach us in class we'd remember things and if leavin cert was gone we wouldnt be stressed out etc.

Conclusion : Education System is shit. leavin cert & Exams should go. Subject Choices should be optional.
