[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7646893, member: 2119"] After 5 years in primary school we hadn't even been taught long division. Dad taught me that in about 10 minutes. We were taught no English grammar whatsoever all the way through secondary education. Some maths, physics and chemistry was useful. We could have been taught that in about 2 days per week. The rest of the time was what? Waffle, rubbish and just hanging around really. A taxpayer funded child minding service so parents can go out to work doing their so important jobs. Things hotted up during the first term at uni. Particularly the maths, without which engineering is nothing really. We worked hard at uni. Lectures from 8 till 12 everyday, half being pure maths. Every afternoon in the labs, not out till you had finished at 6. The real work started at uni, if you wanted it and has carried on since. Education up till 18, well about 50% of its important I suppose. [/QUOTE]
