They Don't Teach You This In School

Here's an interesting website that should appeal to homeschoolers.  They Don’t Teach You This In School, is a website which has offers a library of life lessons and advice aimed at young people.  The website was founded in December 2010 in Wellington, New Zealand, by Michael Moore-Jones, a 17 year old New Zealander, who is passionate about technology and business.

His mission in launching the website was simple - as each generation grows up, individuals will make mistakes and learn a huge amount.  Therefore, we need to find a way to pass on those lessons to the next  generation.  Previously, if people wanted to learn from someone they admired, they could read a book about them or try to meet with them. But with the internet, we can learn quicker and easier using multiple sources, such as: social networks, video websites, and blogs.

All the videos and articles on They Don’t Teach You This In School allows people to learn from the knowledge and experience of others.  Subject areas include:  Business, Careers, Education, Environment, Government, Social, Technology, The Arts, Life, and Sports.

All our videos are of people answering this question :  

 “What is one thing that they didn’t teach you in school, but that you wish you had known when you were younger?”
