Please... really? I'm not even going to get into the politics of this. But really? Lets talk about personal responsibility. Why should anybody else be held accountable for your eating habits. If you're saying you should ban junk food you are also saying that the government should regulate EVERYTHING!
I occupy Grand Rapids on Saturdays. Perhaps because Grand Rapids is much smaller in scale compared to New York but 90% of the occupiers are employed and/or in College. The 10% without a job are either parents or looking for a job. I think its unfair for you to make such claims.
I don't think that it is the schools responsibility to teach anything outside of a textbook education. I believe that parents are responsible for the lessons outside of school. Children learn morals and values outside of school. Every once in a while we are lucky enough to come across a teacher that is able to provide many life lessons and makes an impact on a persons life but I don't think that we should expect this.
I don't think that school is a waste of time however I don't believe that school is the only component that will prepare an individual for life. I think that completion of school shows dedication, determination and a personal value for education that is viewed by many but especially employers as a positive trait. Many schools will teach according to their values and opinions that can rot the vulnerable mind. Experience is the only thing in my opinion that can prepare students for adult life. Perhaps a bit cliche but the lessons learned in kindergarten are what prepares us for life. "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten" is a book of short essays by American minister and author Robert Fulghum. Fulghum lists lessons normally learned in American kindergarten classrooms and explains how the world would be improved if adults adhered to the same basic rules as children, i.e. sharing, being kind to one another, cleaning up after themselves, and living "a balanced life" of work, play, and learning.
