14 Really Interesting Things They Forgot To Teach You In School

When you leave school you realise that it didn’t actually teach you anything you’ll ever use again. I can safely say that I’ve never required a Venn Diagram, never needed to say, “my hamster is sick” in Spanish and never dissected a frog. It turns out that these are just the tip of the iceberg, and that we all have even more fundamental gaps in our education.

For example, how do they put the filling inside an ice cream sandwich? Surely we can’t continue living without that essential piece of information. Or without knowing…

1. How filming in green screen works.

2. How ice cream sandwiches are made.

3. How a top-loading washing machine works.

4. How your zip works.

5. What it looks like when you have a sip of water.

6. How ice cream cones are made.

7. How Michael Jackson actually defied gravity.

8. How fans oscillate.

9. How a key works in the lock.

10. How WIFI travels in your apartment.

11. How ants walk.

12. How paperclips are shaped and manufactured.

13. How coins are sorted.

14. How fortune cookies are folded.

I told you this was all essential information, maybe some of these are curriculum essential, but boy would they have made school a whole lot more fun and interesting. What else do you feel schools should have taught you but didn’t? Let us know with a comment.
