““All the stuff you never learnt at school”. That’s because we’re busy teaching teenagers the knowledge and skills to get a job, get into uni, get into TAFE, get an apprenticeship, fill out forms, communicate clearly, express ideas with classmates, read, answer discussion questions, calculate, participate in a group, be a good sport, not swear at adults, don’t push in line at the canteen, complete homework, wear a uniform, don’t use a mobile phone, use a laptop, understand textbooks, write essays, complete reports, understand calculus, be on time, pay at the office, show up for roll call... Sorry Claire, what is it that we’re not teaching them at school?”
