@rasterman Useful skills that kids can learn but don't teach at schools (or only, optionally teach in high school at a basic level):
* Repairing stuff
* Woodcrafting
* Leathercrafting
* Welding
* Soldering
* Gardening and raising animals
* Hunting (or how to fire a gun)
* Fishing

These skills can be taught at a young age by parents or other mentors and if you are good enough, you can use them to start your own small business. Schools on the other hand either teach you useless shit like history, or stuff that you can easily learn on your own like your own native language or math. In fact, school probably conditions children to hate learning. Children are naturally curious they want to learn, but school makes learning feel like prison.
