Our "Education" System

The education system causes students to not learn, ironically, and this is due to the fact that students are busy cramming useless information into their brains that has no real world use. In addition, we are graded on TURNING IN ASSIGNMENTS &TESTS. You can get an A in a class and not learn anything at all which is why I propose the following;
1. From K-9th Grade, students are exposed to a variety of topics and career options, while still learning the basics.
2. During that time, and starting in Kindergarten, students pick a second language to learn in addition to English, so students are bilingual.
3. In High School, students decide on the Career they want to pursue and take mainly courses that prepare them for that.
4. In HS, you must take real world math, science and English. The courses would teach REAL WORLD subjects that will actually be used. If students Career choice is one of those, than they would take higher levels of that subject.
5. Higher Education is still present, however, time is saved because they already know what they want to do.
6. In all grades, students are graded on knowledge gained, not homework turned in.
These are things I believe we should do.
