Thinking back on school, I stand corrected: I got taught way more and beyond just basic life skills. Did I need to learn basketball? No, but I’m a fucking champ at sitting on the bench! Same for music, chemistry and biology… I didn’t need to know how to read music or the way my heart works, but hey, now I know why things do what they do, and not to eat a fistful of butter everyday. I can honestly say my teachers were such effective, positive role models that I didn’t turn out to be a complete asshole. And for the record, the basketball bench thing had nothing to do with the way my teacher taught me. I was just extremely bad at sports.
