MODERATORS
My junior and senior year in HS my school offered a suite of 'practical' classes like personal finance, cooking, intro to business, applied electronics, and woodshop. They were some of my favorite classes. IMO it's not about memorizing every lesson as much as it is conceptualizing and appreciation core concepts.
Isn't that every class in school?
Yeah I would say that holds true across disciplines. I just feel like I find myself looking back on what I learned in some of those courses more than some other classes, as some of them have shaped how I live my day to day life.
That's the way it should be but I've found more often then not classes rewarded binging/purging information in order to pass the upcoming test.
