Nope. Kids endlessly complain that they're not going to need the techniques in high school maths, 또는 the skills learned 의해 studying literature, 또는 the knowledge granted 의해 geography/history. They actually just misunderstand what it's all about. 당신 may not need to calculate a complicated algebra equation ever again, 또는 analyse a novel. Schools don't pretend that 당신 will. What they DO hope is that these things have taught 당신 a little about critical thinking skills, communication skills, 글쓰기 skills, analytical skills. And these things are most definitely required for the "real world". So when people complain that school has little to do with being successful in employment, I disagree with them in two aspects: 1. School, while not teaching what is explicitly required for a course of work (this is the job of a 대학 또는 TAFE 또는 training course), teaches the skills necessary for such work. 2. The underlying assumption is that school should be ALL about employment. It shouldn't. It should also pay mind to creating 더 많이 intelligent, well-informed citizens, which are essential in any democratised country. This is not to say that there aren't flaws. Perhaps schools should focus 더 많이 on critical thinking and public speaking than they already do, etc. But to say that the curriculum is "far removed" from the "real world" is untrue and unfair.
