It is amazing with how little to none in education is sufficient to finish school nowadays.

I learned more from the internet than everything that public school taught me. That’s not to say we should stop funding school, but in fact, we should fund it better, and have more qualified teachers.
If I make an analogy between a wikipedia article, knowledge I learned. I would say that public school taught the eqivalent of the summary paragraph at the top of a wikipedia page, while the internet taught me the rest of the page. That’s how much school just don’t teach.
Example, School didn’t teach: (This is the USA btw)
Amonst many things
School definitely doesn’t teach how wifi works, or even how technology works in general. School never taugh about the fact that you shouldn’t ignore HTTPS warnings. I’m pretty sure like 99% of my school would just instictively click pass an HTTPS warning and just get their info stolen, although we do have HSTS now so we should be better now, but still, there are many other phishing that almost all of my school-mates would fall for, and they wouldn’t even think to scan the sender address or do any verification that its legit.

My (European) school education at least taught me that speed of light (and therefore other electromagnetic radiation, too) can be assumed to be the speed of light without any measurable difference applied by the medium it is passing through.
