I’ve been making a list of things they don’t teach you in school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to move on when the one you love walks away from you. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.

so much time is spent in school and so little time is spent on things that actually matter or help you in life.
what a wasted opportunity to teach kids how to relate to people and parent and be a friend and partner and person
