We’re so well educated – but we’re useless
Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite
being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant
when it comes to basic life skills.
Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive.
I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning,
probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing
experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my
modern education.
Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from
their natural talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a
working knowledge of basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions
in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all
their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a
professional handyman or tailor.
Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow
our own crops, build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these
things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption.
Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class
that isn’t able to “make” anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of
some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education. Instead of only maths, language
and history, we should create an interactive learning environment in schools where craftsmanship
and problem-solving are valued as highly as the ability to absorb and regurgitate information. We
need to develop children into people that not only think for themselves, but are also able to act for
themselves.

Children experience basic training and mock deployment
The 460th Force Support Squadron (FSS) hosted the 6th Annual Operation Future Forces
(OFF) Sept. 13, 2014, at Camp Rattlesnake. OFF allows children ages 8-18 to experience what
military members endure from basic training to technical school to a mock deployment, ending
with a homecoming party.
“The youth mock deployment was developed to alleviate many of the stresses commonly
experienced by young family members when one or both parents are deployed,” said Thomas
Cox, 460th FSS youth program chief. “Everything from basic training, tech schools, camp activities
and accomplishing their mission as a team made the event a one of a kind opportunity for military
kids.”
A few of the boys had their heads shaved before heading off to “Basic Military Training.” The
training consisted of doing push-ups and sit-ups, jumping through hula-hoops and running through
an inflatable castle. They were also taught how to stand at attention, salute and do an about-face.
After basic training, each child attended “technical school” and was taught a specific Air
Force Specialty Code to help them in their mock deployment. Some children were taught lifesaving
self-aid and buddy care skills while others learned about the importance of radio communications
while on a deployment.
The tech-school graduates were then issued water pistols before heading out. During their
deployment, the children encountered hostile and non-hostile citizens, a water-balloon fight and
injured allies who needed help along the way.
At the end of a long day, loved ones waited outside the youth center on base with homemade
signs welcoming the “troops” back home.
“This event was great,” said Senior Airman Jasmine Madison, 460th FSS Force Support Force
Management technician. “It’s a way for kids to get a hands-on understanding of what their parents
do when they are separated from them during deployments.”
