I quit high school I thought it was a waste of time. I enrolled in a trade school Never collected unemployment my whole life it taught me how to be an independent business man. I retired at age 49 and have never regretted anything.
Blah blah blah.. You know that being an Employee is not despicable and degraded as much as you think ? You know that Employees don't work 24/7 like most entrepreneurs? If everyone were to be an employer, world would not have been what we see and live today right now.. Besides who said an employee cannot be smart, have side hustle, invest and live happily??
@@jhon2k1y I didn't say I want to be 🤦🏻♂️ I'm saying stop degrading Employees as if it is a shameful thing to be an employee. Stop this nonsense stupid mindset.. And did you read the last part of my comment? You don't have to be an entrepreneur to live a good life.. You can become a millionaire if you are smart with your earnings and your money. That doesn't mean you have to become an employer or entrepreneur.. As long as you are the best at what you are doing and love what you do, money comes, after that it's your job to make it into more $ instead of spending it mindlessly...
How to eat/cook and how to relax/destress will be important as well. Most people won't have a daily exercise routine but by knowing how food affects your health will be helpful. Same with knowing how to tune out the craziness in life to relax and sleep better.
My father was a drill sergeant at MCRD there was no relaxing Life is not just about relaxing there's a time and place for it That's what's wrong with half of this country
I would like to agree but entrepreneurs are not the brightest individuals. They always claim to read 50-100 books a year. We both know that their reading is more like skimming and taking quotes
I really had fun in school! But I really never learned any thing of value in class! I once asked one of my college Professors about the stock market the only thing knew was bonds interest calculations. Finally one of my Business profs said that neither himself or any his associates were exposed to accurate info about investing in stocks! In 2004 I retired so I had time to research investing in the market. I would listen to a so called guru's advice check out the results! After a few years I found 90% of them were either lying or just plain ignorant! The few nuggets i came up with is to buy solid dividend paying stocks and in highly active times hedge you stocks with put options. Most of so called big wins are pure luck!
If you put together a course that covers these items that I can go through with my kids I would buy it in a heartbeat! As an entrepreneur of nearly 25 years I couldn’t agree more with this video!!!!!
This could also be taught by parents, can't count on the school. I mean if the government wants a productive well educated society they should have taught us this, or at least invested in companies that do this
@@KM-sy4gr I kinda disagree, its way easier to work with and lead well educated people. uneducated people lead to more crime, bad health and low productivity
You mean how to live like a turncoat and sleep at night. I was a life long Republican, until 10 days ago! It would be nice if the Republicans lived like one. I am now No Party.
I’m in highschool. The funny yet sad part is that we never really ever go through these stuff, which is often the most important. That’s why we have RU-vid and creators like you 👍🏻👍🏻😃

@@ronieipejoseph1602 I was in JROTC in highschool and that was the best thing to teach me about leadership. However most saw it as a recruiter tool. Even though that wasn't even close to what it was about.
I have a baby that is almost a year old and we are going to be home schooling her because we don't trust the school system. We will definitely be implementing things like this. I think they are great ideas.
The problem with home schooling is that kids usually learn their parents biases and opinions. Are you able to teach them objectively and will respect their opinions if you find out they end up having a different opinion? Also what about social skills and friends? They need to be surrounded by their age group.
@@maximustrolleus9860 I agree that this is hard to do, but it can be done. Though it is not for everyone. I was home schooled until the 9th grade and I never had the typical he is a homeschooled kid at least not socially. I have an extremely large family, cousins and what not, that are diverse enough to give my kid plenty of peers. As far as biases go that will be the hardest to circumvent, but I am actually least worried about that one. My mom home schooled 12 kids and only two of them really have the same biases as she does. And no one has the same opinions, though we all agree on a lot and have mostly the same values.
@@DalTron001 i wasnt home schooled so i admit i dont know how it works. Some things in life get really complex and you need an educated teacher to teach them. Like for examples the complexities of how economics work or how scientific theories work or how advanced science works. So im curious to know how that works in a home school environment? Do they get textbooks mailed to them or have online criteria? And a lot of things get heated in real life especially in politics cuz everything is so politicized now like climate change, evolution, lgbt, religion, even the shape of the earth lol. I read comments about ppl homeschooling their kids cuz they want to teach them the earth is flat and that gravity doesnt exist. Like i said i dont how the home schooling system works
@@maximustrolleus9860 yeah things do get complex and having your parents teach you doesn't work for every subject, but that's why done people decide to send their kids to public school in the 9th or 10th grade. There are places you can get your text books sent to you or there are some online school, though they honestly suck. I know a few people that are teaching their kids homeschool and telling them that the earth is flat. It's a bummer, but it's their decision and while I don't like it we shouldn't stop them from doing it. Public school teaches that there are more then 2 genders, so both sides have something stupid
I’m in high school right now (11th year) and I’d love to learn ALL of these skills I’m about to go research and learn for myself. Thanks for the videos Valuetainment💯
As a math teacher, that statement is actually true because Algebra teaches problem solving. Problem solving is a life skill. I didn't have a math teacher explain it to me this way when I was a student. I wish they had. It would have made more sense. Not Algebra 2 or Pre Cal or Trigg but basic Algebra! It's actually a life saver.
Patrick, I am starting a Business Academy in Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 in 2023.. I am going to invite you to come, those children are like Les Brown said are hungry... this is how we change the decaying world.
Great list, but I believe these things should be taught by a parent. I wouldn't want teachers to teach my children these important lessons and theories. Thank you for the list
Genius! Actually teach children useful, real world skills! Also including how to defend themselves with martial arts and mental strength. GREAT video Patrick!
patrick, with all these insightful ideas you could really revolutionize after-school activity for young kids by opening institutions that offer this kind of curriculum
Wish I had known this 8 years ago. Instead I would have taught my children differently. They are 22 and 23 now, so it's not too late. Awesome Video. Thank you.
Some more 16. How to make good freinds.( and avoid or leave behind bad ones) You become like company you keep, so kids need learn early on how to really valuable freinds who'll have their back. Theach look for signs of someone you can trust and warning signs someone who will drag you down. Avoid making friends who gossip, reguse to let you grow, pressure you into harmful behavior, put down your intersets, engange in self destructive behavior and are mean to other people. Instead, look freinds who encourage to speak your mind, pursue you interests, are working on themselves and want the best for you. 17. How to change your mind. (For the right reasons) Teach kids its okay change for the right reasons. If you come across new facts, data, life experiences or new ideas that challenge the way you think, it okay to let you mind change even on deeply held views. As long its not for the wrong reasons such as pressure, trying to be more popular, emotionally driven, impress someone else or to spite someone else. Growing and changing is part of life. 18. How to admit to being wrong. (And dissagree with others) Your not always going to be right. So its important to accept the humility of admitting you got your facts wrong or strategy just didn't work. A lot kids today are being taught that they have to double down or else they've been "defeated." They need to know that actaully oa sign of good character when admit to being incorrect. Your also not alway going to agree with other people, but that doesn't make them a monster nor does it always mean they're your enemies either. Kids need see their opponent as human and even be willing to hear them out from time to time. 19. How to accept that we're all tragically flawed. In this day and age, kids are taught that if you have the slightist human error, everything about you needs to be "cancled". It doesn't matter if you're a comdian, a professor, celebrity or even a founding father. All their accomplishments need to go when their human sides showd itself. Kids need to be taught to look at themselves before judging others and to realize no one is truly sinless. Everyone human history is a three dimensional character which why we need to give some people some slack. 20. How to laugh at themselves (and take criticism) Kids need to learn how to laugh again, especially at themselves. A sense of humor can really go a long way. It also gose a long way to be able self examine and not easily take offense when someone disagrees, criticizes them or even makes a joke at their expense. We need kids to become more thick skinned and have a sense humor again.
Thank you for actually voicing this! I do my best as a parent to present these ideas/concepts, however, even though I graduated high school, some college, worked inside school system, 4 children in/through 3 different schools systems, life experience...and my kids CANNOT, WILL NOT, have these conversations with me. I hear from them that no one else talks about this kind of stuff. I am ridiculous to do this, and it is just weird. It is too much for them! My response is always, yes, but they should be. Learn from my life lessons and experiences so you have a greater advantage In our schools kids are being taught WHAT to think and not HOW to think. What happened to life skills? When I was in high school, I was in the “advanced “ track courses; instructed that I should take higher level math; go to college. I opted for Life Skills math my senior year; instead of trigonometry. I was told by counselors that this was a class for “dummies “, not folks who could go to college.🤨 This remains one of my best experiences from high school, as it addressed how to read a water/electric/gas meter; handle a checkbook; etc. Learn to balance checkbook; write a check, pay bills, save money Drive a vehicle Prepare your own food/how to shop Clean your room; yourself. Learn to understand how to manage emotional well being; yourself. I was not taught these things growing up at home or in school. All learned on the job (adulting human). I realize now, if I had learned more of these concepts and how to wield them then, I would be in a much better “space; not living paycheck to paycheck. Imagine how we could empower our up and coming youth if they went out into the world from this level /platform.🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
I was JUST discussing this same thing yesterday with a close family member - that schools are teaching the wrong things, like chemistry and British literature, but not taxes, basic finances, nor parenting, etc.! Great list, well summarized!
Patrick I messaged you on twitter! You replied and asked me to get in contact with you but I am from the UK and wasn't able to contact. After my reply to let you know I did not receive a response. I would love to get in contact with you again please!
Things I learned from years of coaching a robotics team. My kid being homeschooled, I was unprepared for how unprepared ten to fourteen year olds were who went to public school. Learned the kids had never been made to do anything they didn't want to. Kids weren't ever taught teamwork or basic co-operation skills. Never taught, even kids who were in sports, that practice makes one better at something. The kids were never taught to pay attention for more than ten seconds. That kids are not taught that envy is a bad thing. That they have never been told in school that they are bad at something and need to improve. All the public school kids believed that since they were kids they didn't have to do anything. That adults were there for entertainment and catering to the kids wants.
@MDihn Nope. Patrick is in exactly the right place for this time. He is teaching and motivating an army of actual leaders and successful, happy, productive people who will organically clean up our current decaying society.
School could teach more about money and taxes (not that the average schoolteacher knows much there), plus civics as they once did. They should leave morals to parents.
I completely agree with you.........but sometimes people take it up just to gain easy and smooth access to a better country via a student visa😭........like America😍
You forgot about teaching the stock market. But yes I've taught my children all these things especially starting their own business & how not to be afraid of failure
Great content Patrick!! This is spot on! I agree with all of it. Not sure if schools would allow it?! You might have to go to a private school to get most of this done.
Regarding "processing issues", unfortunately, more than 10 million children are medicated with Methylphenidtate, which interferes with normal brain development, discernment, empathy and emotional EQ. They are unable to process issues due to the inability to utilize those areas of the brain responsible for these functions in addition to not having been taught.
Your on the right track Patrick 👍. Good to start these schools up in the inner cities first.👏👏👏👏💯💯💯 Jesus taught in parables to in courage self thinking.
NUTRITION. Teach the kids early the value of healthy choices when eating. Our society is overly obese, overly medicated, or woefully under nourished. Keep the weight of medical debt off our children!
As a 13 year old I've already learnt about taxes, the stock market, mortgages, wars and guess where I obtained all my knowledge?... Surprisingly not school😯
Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (Jn 3:16" But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17)?
In his high school days at MSU-IIT (Mindanao State University-Iligan Institue of Technology in Lanao Norte province, Philippines), my son and his classmates were taught how to sell and start a business. They had to sell candies and school supplies to their classmates and collect scrap metal to sell to a local steel plant. He even had to sell frogs to his squeamish classmates for their biology lab. Regularly, his group met to check their financial status, see how they were faring against their classmates, and come up with new strategies to beat the competition. Long story short, his group got an A.
The School system don’t teach you the most important things you need in life. Money, health, and your rights for a reason. I never got good grades in school and was told by teachers and friends I was never going to do well in life. 10 years later, I work for the government doing great in life. I’m honestly doing better than any of my friends who actually most have college degrees. Just remember getting F’s or A’s doesn’t make you dumb or smart it just means you think differently.
You want schools to teach kids real skills like selling, leading, economics, voting, taxes, negotiation, why? That’s all extremely useful skills, why would schools teach you this when they’re meant to teach you how to serve those who actually know that stuff from an early age? School is supposed to teach you the basics by grade 6, and then waste your time until you’re 18 and you’ve already wasted years of learning how to resent education and being conditioned not to look outside what you’ve been told to know.
You’re awesome and needed channel Patrick! I always say these stupid schools teach so much nonsense yet life important skills are not taught! My daughter just did a college research paper on how 89% of high school graduates know nothing about money management, credit, balancing a checking account, how to get a mortgage, what an APR is....it’s ridiculous how many of my peers in our 49’s who still don’t understand credit card compound interest trap, APR amounts, property taxes rolled into mortgage payments and simple money budgeting! These educational institutions teach bare bottom needed curriculum for life survival preparation as young adults soon to be financially independent and yet we wonder why so many youths are lost and homelessness is worse
I agree with all previous ones. But "how to date" what if you have an activist teaching them and tells them they're a 10 and they have all these ideologies and expectations that they're better than what they're worth. And can never find the right man, like all these single mothers that want a guy that has to be 6ft, earn 6 figures and have no kids. Pay all the rent and provide, while they chill at home and watch the kids. It's not right!
I use everything all the time but then again I'm learning how the world works an i also stopped going to school cause it was for slow learners an people who wanna be slaves (mostly it was about football aka useless)
Bruh nowadays we are taught about solving problems to achieve our goal although this something we should learn at least 5th grad cause at that point we would probably understand it enough
Bro no offense but you crossed the line marriage and dating happens on its own but it certainly something you don’t need to no although we treat those love is something we should learn.
School does not teach you how to discover your purpose in life and pursue it. Most people are miserable today because are doing things that are not aligned to their purpose. Discover your purpose, pursue it consistently, and watch your life, joy, and happiness turn around.
This is such a great video. When i went to high school we actually learned life skills. It was diappearing from schools 30 years ago and is totally gone now. We had how to manage money. Art classes, classes that expanded imagination, free thinking. All missing now. These 15 things would definitely benefit our kids for a better life
My high school taught me how to use a triple beam to weight out my weed and cocaine. It also taught me, when two large groups start migrating towards each other in the cafeteria its time to leave. Last but not least it taught me don’t get caught wearing the wrong colors.
We actually had a "How to start a business" class in my first year of high school in the Netherlands. We got 25 euro per group and were encouraged to find "investors". We sold funny looking stress balls. Became an instant hype at school. Spend the next few weeks at my locker selling stress balls. Made 200 euros profit, which was a lot for a 12/13-year-old. Was a really educational experience and really inspiring.
Ohhhhhh. I have been talking about these subjects I want my kids to know about and you join me in this knowledge battle. You complete me (sorry Jennifer). You do in a positive and progressive mindset. If allowed can I use this to spread around. It is a part of the sacred vocational mission of education. Get them ready for the world and the future.
THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD HIS NAME IS JEHOVAH HE CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING IN IT THERE IS NO ONE ELSE THERE IS NO OTHER THERE IS NONE LIKE JEHOVAH GOD SOON EVERYONE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH WILL KNOW WITHOUT QUESTION WHO HE IS SEARCH FOR JEHOVAH GOD
Here are 15 things that schools actually teach you. 1. Obey 2. Do not question. 3. Do not fight. 4. Do not say no 5. Always rely on others 6. Do not be independent 7. Always respect authority 8. Love others by hating yourself based on the history of your ancestors. 9. They tell you it's your duty to feel guilty about who you are. 10. Always work for the betterment of the team. 11. Never work for the betterment of yourself. 12. Always surrender. 13. Creativity never gets you anywhere in life. 14. The teacher is always correct. 15. The students are always wrong unless they speak like the teacher.
From my experience work with many school systems very few teacher have the real world experience to support practical curriculums like these. Anyone who is good at sales, teamwork, leadership, negotiation and such, would not be likely to work such a low paying job.
