Students in North Dakota are reportedly struggling in school.

The New York Times reported that the pandemic has dramatically impacted students in a negative way. Test scores were reportedly significantly lower than normal in Texas and Indiana. But how are North Dakota students doing when it comes to school these days?

1. Science
2. Math
3. Social Studies
4. Business
5. English

Is it time for education to get an overhaul?

I have been out of high school for over a decade and I still do not understand why we were taught what we were taught in school. From personal experience, a person is nowhere near ready to go out into the real world when they turn 18. But maybe they could be more prepared for it if they were taught a thing or two about it!

I understand things like science and math are useful. But people need actual street smarts and common sense when they are pushed out of the house and into society. I have never once dissected a frog or a pig fetus as an adult. I also have never had to use the Pythagorean Theorem. But I did have to figure out how to be a functioning and contributing member of society when I had zero real-life experience.

It would be great if schooling changed to better-equip kids for growing up.
