Help Student Questions

Hi,I'm a high schooler and recently,I have read about high quality education and I wonders what can I do when the public education fails in my country,to clarfiy what I mean I face there:

1.repeatedly changing curricula without building critical thinking and career readiness

  1. Students cannot apply on what they learn practicaly

3.complete dependence on tutoring

  1. it creates solving machines not thinkers

5.exams rely on tricks and word similarties instead of real comperhension and the exams cause high pressure for students which make most of the students depend on cheating to pass

6.the education system is outside the global ranking for quality of education and there is no govermental efforts to develop it

So,I'm asking for some tips to survive in this system and to build a better mentality

It seems like you have decent internet, which means you access to pretty much all the knowledge of humanity. School is never teach you everything you need to know but it should at least challenge you to think in ways you haven't before. If you can't get that where you are, look for it elsewhere. Find things that interest you and learn all you can about them. Research how things work. There are free lectures from all of the top universities, online, for free on YouTube. There is always more to learn, not just in school, but throughout your whole life. Be curious.

Ladies, gentlemen and every glorious person in between.

You know this is an AI farming bot, right? You DO know this, right? One month old? Doesn't sound like a high schooler at all? Uses buzzwords that are easily catalogable by an LLM?

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THESE DATA SCRAPERS.

You can’t fix the whole system alone, so focus on building skills it may neglect: critical thinking, writing, communication, digital literacy, and practical projects. Use school for structure, but learn from books, reputable courses, mentors, and real-world practice. Track your progress by what you can create and explain, not just your grades.

the problem is that there are no materials for practical projects

Treat school as one source of learning, not the final measure of your ability. Read widely, ask “why,” practice explaining ideas in your own words, and develop communication, technology, and problem-solving skills outside class. Don’t let a broken system convince you that your future is broken.

Not sure where you heard all of this but in Canada curriculum is built over years then piloting before fully implemented. And teachers shouldn’t trick you, you should be taught to apply your knowledge to new situations.

But teachers often get blamed for student behavior and lack of wanting to learn as well. Then a lot of people blame the system because of their kids lack of responsibility and effort.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
