In Ontario for HS we only had two mandatory "science" courses in grade 9/10 which covered bio/chem/physics. You could take further separate bio/chem/physics courses but they weren't mandatory to graduate.
@@IncredibleMD That’s why most people just bash on NA education in general The only problem is that education in many European countries is now also becoming more and more idiot friendly. Because kids have like zero attention span these days and their IQ barely breaks room temp figures
My high school sounds the same as Dizzy's. Only needed a certain amount of credits in a general subject like Math / Science etc, and you elect which specific courses you want to take. Science needed 3. Things available were like Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, which were 1 each, and they also had a "Conceptual Chemistry / Conceptual Physics" course which were both like half a credit. There were also AP Chemistry and AP Physics courses which were worth a credit and a half each. I'll take mandatory Physics over mandatory History courses any day though. *GOD I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR EVER AGAIN.

I’m not really a big history guy but I learned a lot of neat things in AP History, despite how hard it was. Mandatory freshman history was pretty boring.
During my time in high school, they would split up the batch into two courses. Science course and social studies course. If you're in the science course, you're required to take 2 science subjects for your 'majors', which were biology, chemistry, physics, and combined sciences. If you're in the social studies course, you're only required to take Enterprise.
At my school, you had to choose to specialise in the various sciences. Otherwise, you just did "science", which was more of a general overview, rather than any serious theory.
Nah, its a bit more nuanced. US high school diplomas tend to come with varying types, with slightly different class or credit requirements each. More so or less so depending on the state, and even school district in some cases. There is also General and Advanced diplomas which also have separate requirements. In short, the required classes in one state for a diploma can be significantly different from a diploma elsewhere. Personally I was doing College Algebra in high School while skipping Calculus and Physics. We also had people in 9th, 10th and 11th grades in the same geometry classes.
Airi had a Korean education which is why she took all that math and science as requirements in HS. They are considered 'advanced' diploma electives in US schools
Im gonna be honest 90% of what I learned in school turned out to be useless in everyday life, esp stuff like Chem, Physics, Geography etc Like what id the value in knowing the mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell or Columbus sailed around the world? If I was trying to be a doctor or historian maybe that would be useful but as a corpo slave right now those kind of stuff arent as useful as Budgeting, investing, personal finance, power point/excel and simple coding which I think schools should make mandatory instead.
Instead of learning to code so we can get useful jobs in society, we were forced to memorize the names and dates of wars that got a bunch of people killed and solved nothing.
With so many climate change deniers, flat earthers, and dumb asses who think Dihydrogen Monoxide is toxic, are you seriously advocating for less? Additionally, all the replacement subjects you mentioned can all be learned in like a week or 2 aside from investing.
If we all weren't force-fed the sciences, the 5% of us went into STEM wouldn't be there. I DESPISED most of the crap I was taught, but unlike taxes and sexed you don't NEED to know this shit to survive and it's exactly why it needs to be forced on you.
How the heck is physics useless? Literally everything in the world works through understanding physics (mechanics, plumbing, electrical work, the list goes on). Chem is slightly more situational, but even then there are tons of applications (pharmaceuticals, materials science, etc...). Geography and history are not that practically relevant, but I still appreciate their purpose: it's to provide the context for you and the society around you. This is so you understand why the society you live in exists, why it got to that place, why it has this or that political system. Without the context, how can you grow up to become a responsible citizen (when without it, you won't even know what those words mean)? Budgeting and personal finance are useful skills, but I fail to understand why those things wouldn't come naturally if you are a bit competent in math and have a responsible mind set. Investing is bit of a double edged sword: it is important to think about your financial future, but nobody knows the "right" way of doing it so it becomes too subjective. Teaching the law around financial decisions would be really useful: taxes, different benefits, savings accounts (401k' in the US) and so on. PP and Excel are pointless, only people who don't provide much use those. Excel you can basically replace with any coding language, PP is just presentations for which there are plenty options. Coding should be mandatory, even though it is also just math, but there is the element of a new language so it should be taught as such.
My geography is so bad I thought Wakanda was a real place........

B.C was the same
The only physics I know is jiggle physics.
The world makes fun of the AMERICAN education system, and yet, 90% of EN vtubers seem to come from CANADA. Curious.
Doesn't invalidate the claim though
@@mndy129 Basing your claim about the American education system on the results of the Canadian education system kinda does invalidate it, though.

@@dylannix4289 No, they bash American education, because they're Europeans who hate America. Hell, Canadians are some of the biggest offenders.
Science Class in My High School goes something like this
1st Year = General Science
2nd Year = Biology
3rd Year = Chemistry
4th Year = Physics
This was the curriculum in our High School as well, I thought it was like that everywhere
6th grade geology
7th grade biology
8th grade physical
I only get to study physics and i couldnt choose

History is a fantastic subject to learn about, but general education history is the worst ever.

Don't forget to thank a teacher.
Hope their children save them 💀💀😭
It's okay, they don't need to know the basics of physics to vtube
Is this what it takes to be a vtuber? Nvm don’t answer
Some my highschool teachersc is like that too just giving answer before test lol

What's "Enterprise"?
gigachads and virginias
@@sirnonapplicable It's similar to Business Studies.
Meanwhile my highschool went "ok, here's your choice:
Physics and Mathematics
OR
Mathematics and Physics"
:D
How my school did it is that grades 9 and 10 are general science and in grade 11 and 12 you choose any combination of chemistry/physics/biology
Well on the upside at least we know we don't have to be intelligent to get employed at sad girl company.
had to take bio physics and chem together with other subjects

i had a teacher in uni who was always failing 50% of the class, it didnt matter what you did in the exam, it was always a coin toss with him
Unsure if physics was difficult or professor just had too thick of an accent.
pretty sure this is just down to canadian vs american high school education

How does this even work? which country doesn't teach physics and chemistry as separate subjects in highschool at least? I'm so confused
