- What I learned in school vs. What I didn't learn in school.
iTunes: goo.gl/n4EgkZ | Bandcamp: goo.gl/gDetLT
I can't remember feeling so passionate whilst writing something in ages. I absolutely love a lot of the subjects I mention in this - astronomy, particle physics, pure maths... but I hate that everyone is forced to learn them. It should be a choice. There are a million other things wrong with education, but this one stood out as the most obvious and most insane.
The point of this song is to get people talking - if you share it, use #DontStayInSchool so we can all get involved in the conversation.
Lyrics:
I wasn’t taught how to get a job
but I can remember dissecting a frog
I wasn’t taught how to pay tax
but I know loads about Shakespeare's classics
I was never taught how to vote
they devoted that time to defining isotopes
I wasn’t taught how to look after my health
but mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Never spent a lesson on current events
instead I studied The Old American West
I was never taught what laws there are.
I was never taught what laws there are.
Let me repeat - I was not taught the laws for the country I live in,
but I know how Henry the VIII killed his women.
Divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived
glad that’s in my head instead of financial advice
I was shown the wavelengths of different hues of light
but I was never taught my human rights
Apparently there’s 30, do you know them? I don’t
Why the hell can’t we both recite them by rote?!
I know igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks
Yet I don’t know squat about trading stocks
Or how money works at all - where does it come from?
Who controls it? How does the thing that motivates the world function?
not taught how to budget and disburse my earnings
I was too busy rehearsing cursive.
Didn’t learn how much it costs to raise a kid or what an affidavit is
but I spent days on what the quadratic equation is
negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared
minus 4ac over 2a
That’s insane, that’s absolutely insane.
They made me learn that over basic first aid
How to recognise the most deadly Mental disorders // or
diseases with preventable causes // How to buy a
house with a mortgage // if I could afford it
‘cause abstract maths was deemed more important
than advice that would literally save thousands of lives
but it’s cool, ‘cause now I could tell you if the number of unnecessary deaths caused by that choice was prime.
Never taught present day practical medicines,
but I was told what the ancient hippocratic method is
“I’ve got a headache, the pain is ceaseless
what should I take?” umm... maybe try some leeches?
“Could we discuss domestic abuse and get the facts
or how to help my depressed friend with their mental state?”
Ummm... no but learn mental maths
because “you won’t have a calculator with you every day!”
They say it’s not the kids, the parents are the problem
Then if you taught the kids to parent that’s the problem solved then!
All this advice about using a condom
but none for when you actually have a kid when you want one
I’m only fluent in this language, for serious?
The rest of the world speaks two, do you think I’m an idiot?
They chose the solar over the political system
So like a typical citizen now I don’t know what I’m voting on
which policies exist, or how to make them change
mais oui, je parle un peu de Francais
So at 18, I was expected to elect a representative
For a system I had never ever ever ever been presented with
But I won’t take it
I’ll tell everyone my childhood was wasted
I’ll share it everywhere how I was “educated”
And insist these pointless things

The way this song was released 6 years ago and still has comments from an hour
It seems like schools didn't get any better in the past 6 years...
@@Eva-mp7xg some schools even got worse (imo) like, some schools don't require masks but require you don't wear a hat or girls don't wear spaghetti straps
Lol, its because its still vailid in all of its facts
True lol, the sad thing is, it's probably because this still applies pretty much everywhere.. The video is getting popular and having an impact on mainly students but teacher and school staff probably see the title and think it's some kid complaining about school and that really sucks... I really wish this video could have some sort of impact to teachers and school staff members too...

In grade school it’s supposed to be a boot camp on basics then if yo want to presue a career further then you get into nich knowledge bases in college. However the boot camp of life via grade school is broken and political people are playing games with as always the proper education of our next generation of leaders
Neither does AI. Just telling you guys AI is a threat.
It's been 6 years. And almost nothing has changed. 6 years.
probably the worst part about school is we know nothings gonna happen. everyone has known for years that the school system is an absolute defunked shitstain on the world. posts criticizing school get tons of support and attention even in the hundreds of millions and fucking NOTHING has happened over years, because no one smart enough to change this system has the power to do it
The school system is stuck in the last decades. Its like there training us not educating us. Why are teachers allowed to scream a children. It's not heavy duty slavery anymore. It's school
kids go to school and are pressured to go to college. they get in debt. and become slaves to capitalism

29. Everyone has the right to live in a society where everyon has a duty to uphold these rights
30. nobody has the right to interpret any of these rights as permision to deprive you of your rights (basically lol)
I have summerised many of these for brevity (and because I honestly don't know how many characters you're allowed in these coments lol). If i have misinterpreted any of them please forgive me and of course feel free to correct me in the coments. Some juristictions have adional rights enshrined in law that apend to this, such as the american constitution, wherein the first amendment details the "bill of rights". Also the European human rights act both of which I encourage you to read. Below is a link to the Document I have sumerised here.
www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
So now you know what rights there are. I would encourage many of the people in the coments to pay particular attention to to numbers 10, 11 and 12 (just sayin)
Human rights are a bit like money, they only have value as long as other humans believe in them.
Many of these "rights" sound insane quite frankly. You don't have the God given right to make other people work and pay for you. "25. You have the right to an adequate standard of living (food, Clean drinking water, shelter, healthcare, social security help and so on)" These people have lost their minds. That is in direct violation of other peoples rights "4. You have the right not to be enslaved in any form"
31: Kids shouldn't be diddled.
@@JasonBrossa Any two rights that are not the same are automatically at conflict which each other and you are reading into them too literally. The implication of those two are that to act morally a nation should take care of the less fortunate when reasonably possible. In the context of our world they make perfect sense and human rights are fundamentally a contract between states about the treatment of people. In our world we have states and they have power by the simple virtue of existing just as money has power. Human rights interfere in how that power shall be used. No slavery is required because humans inherently give power to states by their free will or by the nature of power dynamics whichever you want to believe.
All human beings are born not Free and some humans are more equal then others while the lower "Equals"
Are Wage Slaves until Death or either Disabled.

“So when I was 18 I was expected to elect a representative for a system I had never been presented with” is that best line
Agreed
Agreed
@Julio Cesar yeah, that's by far the most hardest drop of them all, almost like the chorus of this song. But to put it blunt, I have no idea why on earth schools insist on condom advice over actual childcare. I don't see any viable explanation as of why so many schools often prioritize this to be inside their school curriculum.
p.s Agreed
@Julio Cesar Aye, schools are really vague about what's worth teaching the kids when it comes to these sensitive subjects. I'll be turning 15 soon and I had to watch some TH-cam videos just to learn how to use a condom. (Not that l'm actually sexually active, but as some just-in-case knowledge).
The school's tactic of this "We have too many humans but teens aren't ready for decisions and explanations." Is pretty flawed. 90% of the people who graduate school will at least have families of their own, so it's only necessity to properly teach them how to become good parents. And getting kids can honestly happen to anybody regardless of wealth or job status.
But If they're choosing to actually stick with that mentality. School's should've taught this in developing countries because that's where all the birth rates are rising in. Or fck it. If they want to slow population boom so badly then why not tell children to never have sex entirely.

The current education system also causes kids to despise learning and lose their curious appetite towards the world because they simply aren't going to concern themselves with issues that don't have an immediate impact upon their lives.
+Frank I love you right now, no homo. You just perfectly summed up the biggest problem of the public education system in one sentence.
+Evan Urena =) Yea, and praising or neglecting students based upon their merits of subjects that the schools have deemed important is ridiculous. It sets students, who have an interest in other subjects outside of school, up for failure because they are labeled incompetent simply due to not adhering to conventional book-smarts. The schools neglect them as they are deemed failures in their eyes; the students emulate the labels given to them and become delinquents; and potential brilliant minds are lost because of the inefficiency of the school system.
+Frank Exactly, well said. Focusing on grades, exams, and rigid benchmarks rather than learning is a complete deficiency in education. The students are more focused on academic status to impress colleges rather than focusing on their own goals to be self-actualized about their futures. The government really does not know much about education as they mostly care about standardized protocols only relating to accolades of exams, grades, and rigid requirements rather than learning. They are more centered on authoritarian preconceived notions on what they think a child should know to be educated, when they themselves did not use a lot of the stuff they learned in school and fail to realize that kids are individuals just like they are. Obama says kids need algebra, yet an everyday person like himself barely ever uses it. I'm a math geek, so if i asked him a problem in a slightly advanced topic on algebra such as the properties and inverse relations of exponential and logarithmic functions, he would look at me in a clueless and oblivious manner? Why? Because he does not need algebra to do what is capable of doing in his daily job, so why does he assume that every high school kid needs algebra when each of them have different goals of wanting to survive in the real world. I have no hatred for Obama, but politicians like him always contradict themselves about the problems behind education reformation, because they are naive about it. Leave it to the democratic/progressive schools, education reformists/activists like Alfie Kohn, and professionals in various careers to fix the education system and help kids become more self-actualized about their futures, not a politician or corporate conglomerate who is so concerned with standardized test scores, letters, and numbers all because we want to rank higher than China.
+Frank well, because education is only third of it's goals. #1 is indoctrination ("socialization", they call it) into the current socio-political system. #2 is "daycare", so that adults can go work in a double-income family, where both of them are taxed of half the income, and children are left to the State for #1.

In my adolescence I thought this had good points, but oh boy seeing it now is just painful.
Anti-intelectualism and utilitarianism encapsulated in the form of a really generic beat and obnoxious rapping. Of course schools could prepare students for the more professional issues that everyone faces when they become adults, but to attribute every other kind of knowledge as unessential is just a superficial reading of how society is modeled to begin with. to portray history and mathematics as "abstract" and unimportant is a juvenile infliction of which doesn't seem to get that without those, mistakes from the past can be reproduced and eficiency might never envolve. Lazy point overall, the current educational system is terrible in many ways, but not for the reasons given in the song.
Wonderfully put man. We need STEM and liberal arts. Many professions need it. As a professional musician, I understand this guy's sentiment. A lot of things in school felt unrelatable. But I can recognize that others need to draw on this knowledge.

AK The Insane. omg yes that's so stupid
AK The Insane
yesssss
Yup. But wait, it gets worse. Even thought you've been treated like a child your whole life, when you graduate all the adults in your life will suddenly expect you to act mature out of thin air.
Get used to it you will be treated like that until you are atleast 30-40.
Imagine if we actually learned how to trade stocks and our human rights in school. Its mindblowing.
I quite easily learnt about stocks in my own time, it's not as hard as a lot of people think. In fact most of the things he listed could be learnt after a few Google searches.
everyone would be successful in the world. it would be so great if they did that but they don't. there are many other things keeping this from happening, but I might be called racist or banned so I won't say them.
They don’t really want you to know about those subjects… They don’t want you to know how money really works either. If they taught us the truth about it, we would be pissed!
@@truthbetold4350 they want us to have no knowledge of the important stuff in life. And SOME people would be pissed.
what do you mean, it says in out human rights that we're supposed to be taught our human rights in school, so obviously we are, right? Oh wait.
9 years later and i can say that im still a teacher going by these facts saying if it wont help in life i am not teaching it!!

Feel bad for your students
Now is #dontstaynearschools
During his time, they didn't teach it, but thanks to him, they've started doing that
this song helped me remember the quadratic formula
ayy lmao
+Tweek WORD!!!!!!
+mubzy122 I didn't pause the video so when you said "That's insane! That's absolutely insane!" Boyinaband said it!
Same, we havent even been introduced to it in maths yet and i know it by heart from listening to this xD
Rina Starr whaat? how old are you? i started learning quadratics in seventh grade and now i'm a freshman, doing this formula
edit: it just occurred to me that people have different math classes lmao
This video is getting a lot of attention now so I just want to clarify - "Don't Stay in School" isn't inferring students shouldn't stay in school, it's saying topics which aren't practically useful shouldn't stay in school.
There are obviously a lot of benefits to getting an education, I'm just concerned that the topics are not prioritized well at all.
1st
PS this was amazing, thank you for making this
i get that...
but I've been taught a lot of stuff that I didn't need to know besides music, art, math and science... those are my core learning strengths...
but I get what you're saying...
dave we understand and most of us share your opinions. i commented on the video even saying "this might set a record for your most views".
You are missing the point. You learn all that stuff so that you know whats out there so the mathematicians and scientists of tommorow can be cultivated. Maybe you didnt learn that but through school other kids may have found something they are interested in.Knowing what political party to vote for isnt going to help us when we cant figure out a way to stop burning fossil fuels. While i agree that most of the things in this song should be taught as well. You shouldnt really be saying the rest of the stuff is pointless. If you dont understand science then how are you going to be able to choose between two parties each pushing different policies on the enviroment or any other number of issues?
Thanks, Dave.
I was taught of the age of consent laws in my country in Grade 9. I would like to thank you personally.

It's like a video essay but rhythmic.
The school system is just a way to make money.
You realize that public school systems cost the government a huge amount of money right?
+Furry Usually when people say "the school system" they're referring to the public system or the curriculum. Either way, both are funded by the government at enormous expense. The idea that creating a school system could actually be a for profit business (with the exception of private schools) is completely laughable. Schools are created for the benefit of the people, whether or not they do a good job is a different question.
But I learned everything he's complaining about :/

Most things are important based on what job you want when you grow up, plus if kids don’t learn this stuff, then the world will never get more innovative. But I do agree that some of the stuff you mentioned about being a basic adult should definitely be taught.
The stuff about being a basic adult is absolutely taught lmao. Most schools offer Home Economics and such. Also learning “useless” knowledge is still incredibly useful because it teaches you how to learn, which is a skill in and of itself. I wrote another reply to someone else that I’m going to paste her because it addresses a lot of this:
“Same here. Then I grew up and realized he’s so wrong about everything lmao. Most schools do teach what he is complaining about, classes like Current Events and Home Economics are incredibly common. Financial Literacy is often taught as well, I learned it and I went to a small and underfunded public school. I was absolutely taught “what laws there are” as well. Not to mention that the main purpose of school isn’t the information that it gives you, like Boyinaband seems to think, it’s the experience, work ethic, self-application, socialization, routine, etcetera. School prepares you for real life in that way. Sure, will you really need the quadratic equation when you grow up? Probably not. But knowing how to learn a foreign and intangible concept is absolutely a skill you will use.
Sorry for the rant, I just really hate when people have this specific complaint about the schooling system. It has its faults, but not this.”

Next video hey guys they took my life so I cant film or anything :/
Ayeee
i went to
4 Public schools
2 private schools
1 school for the ahole kids that can’t be taught manners
And
2 hospital schools
All horrible
Dang it i cant like this otherwise it wont be an even 666 likes
How does this have 1k likes and 5 replies
who hates when teachers "say are you talking back" well yes we are going to talk back because that's how a conversation works
Because not giving feedback about what someone says makes them entitled and cut you off or get angry when you want to say something
Someone watches Bobby Moore
That is literally my parents
Ah so that's how lots of us are socially awkward
I also hate how they say this will prepare for high school or the next grade but never the real world
When we were kids we thought this song was deep, now this guy's deep in some kids

Innocent until proven guilty. No exceptions. Ever.
@@vincentproud6589 yeah, they’ve been proven guilty. The amount of effort and the fact that he is inactive says a lot about how he’s “innocent” and how he knows how his loyal fans are defending him so he doesn’t have to hide. Innocent until proven guilty is really really useful for murder victims, because no dna evidence means no murder 🤷🏼♂️
I love this song!
GUYS I BURNED MY SCHOOL DOWN. NOW WHAT?

Michelle Flores lol
Michael Flores Enjoy life.
Not funny.
Lol
How about how people are saying that kids need to be outside more but then kids are kept inside classrooms with no natural light for 7 hours
Edit: I just figured out that we spend more time of our childhoods with teachers. Not our parents (you know the people that are supposed to raise us)
Wow you just roasted schools
Dude my old school was disigned by some one that made prisons there are no windows inside
Dumb Shit wtf
In Germany it’s actually illegal to not have windows in a working place or school room
Our school has air con, so we don't get sunlight at all. We need to be there around 5:30 for the flag ceremony and we're not allowed to go out of class once we're in the school campus.... We're also kept there for about 9 hours... Sometimes even 10... I just shared my shitty experience... 😅😅😅
Edit: 5:30 am
y'all,it's not his fault. he never got taugh what laws are😔
lol

i used to love school in ele, cus it was fun but middle school is crap
@@pengo_playzi2076 agreed
@Owen Lacy

My high school is still fun.
That's how it feels though 😂
the only thing school has taught me is how to get ready in 5 minutes...
Yesssss

omg same!!!!
Alright lads what's 49 divided by 7
Haxor 7... imma smart banana
guys, i think he should’ve learned what laws are.
Bro 😭
i remember watching this video when i was in 5th grade. i just want to say that this video taught me the quadratic equation and helped me memorize it better than school ever did
I learned more about history from youtube and wikipedia than actual school.
Wikipedia have a lot of dates wrong about history
@@jmplayt5442 yeah but you can fact check most of it on other websites like Nat geo or encyclopedia websites. It's just more convenient to use Wikipedia because it's accurate like 98% of the time
I'm actually lucky that I have a fun history teacher who talks to the students for half the class so we can get to know more people and then the rest of the half he teaches, and he actually teaches well, he asks us to guess what words mean before he tells us and even asks for examples so he knows that we didn't just look it up, I got lucky with my history class, I might make a couple friends from there which is a big deal cause I can't make friends easily
@@PotatoSalad9900 yeah i have a great history teacher too. I just dislike the curiculum
Me too
When Dave says "Or how to recognize the most deadly disorders" gives me chills because I wish I had learned that out the easy way

Well this aged pretty well
The only thing that this rap applies to is elementry school💀💀
Idk what school this guy went to to but nearly all of these things are taught as courses😭😭
The point is that this stuff should just be taught regardless of the course you choose to do.
Secondary school English really hasn't got a place in day to day life unless you are actively trying to use it, the part of it that you will end up using (spelling, punctuation and grammar) is mostly automated, so why should it be mandatory when I could be putting my time to something infinitely more useful?
it's scary how true this is. even 4 years later.
yep
Yeahhh
Yup
Yup
In my school we learn about first aid and depression so I mean that is something
School taught me how to hold my fart for 7 hours straight...

This song is incredibly I'm14andthisisdeep
Top 10 music artists that predicted their downfall
"Then if you taught the kids to parent that's the problem solved then..."
That hit hard.
It is also a poor idea.
@@georgedriff5156 why?
@@titash3973 I would love for that to be a good idea but it would make children less unique because they would have been raised a certain way. Also a large part of parenting is teaching your child about the politics that you agree with and if you are taught how to parent by the schools they would also have to teach you politics (not just general politics they would be very one sided about their wing) which I am sure violates some right.
I do agree with the rest of the song
#DON'TSTAYINSCHOOL
@@georgedriff5156 there are ways to teach how to parent without teaching politics. Like, "good parenting" could be about stimulating you're kid so they can have critical thinking and find what they like to do and/or what they're good at (also learn how to be affective and still being able to put limits) . The problem with that is that if you wanna raise a kid like that, you have to have critical thinking or school should teach you how to have it but, how do you teach something you don't know?
@@zach2042 so you want schools to teach how to be a teacher
This song is extremely important, this is an outcry from every child in the world but it will fall on deaf ears.
I'm hoping that when we all grow up we all just find some other schooling method or just cause a revolution capture the white house and demand it be changed *as well as higher minimum wage cause minimum wage sucks right now*
tbh I think thats going to change when the newer generations come to power, but then again it might not
Let's Go Gen Z and Alpha we will have our time one day!

"If you taught the kids to parent that's the problem solved then" OMG 10/10
The Goat that's a good line, but I think it's kinda funny how people say that parents are the problem when it comes to these things, but people don't seem to realize that the parents don't always have time to help a kid out. if the parents are gone the large majority of the time, then how does the child get help with the things that school says needs to be taught by parents
The Goat there are childcare electives at my school, people just need to take them
Stiffy Jiffy What he's saying is that people tend to blame parents for not teaching their kids what isn't taught in school, and he's countering that by saying it wouldn't be an issue if schools taught kids to parent
The Goat have better grammar
The EmptyPenguin940 Have better punctuation.
Why are people returning to this video posting about how he wasn't taught any laws? Did he get a law degree in that time or something?
No, a while ago a group of people claimed that boyinaband had dated a 17 year old in his early 20s
xd
Guys I don't think he was taught what laws there are.
