The two things I wish I learned in school
But didn’t
It has been a while since I was in school. This might have changed since then, but I remember learning things by heart just for the tests. After the tests, I’ve never used that information again. In today’s world, you know enough if you are able to find answers. My everyday example would be: I do some coding almost every day, but I can’t do everything from the top of my head. I’m not even trying to. There’s too much to learn, and the languages keep getting updated all the time, so I don’t think it’s necessary. What’s important is that I know where to find the right code, and how to implement it.
How often do you use the information “what’s the name of the third biggest river in Italy” in your life? And do you really need to use your brain capacity knowing that? Or is it enough that you can get the answer, when needed, by taking your phone from your pocket and finding the answer on Google?
