"Let's teach kids financial literacy" - said no school board ever

"Christopher Columbus discovered America." "Did he?" "I dont fucking know 🤣" Bruh that was so factual😭😭

“ no comprende to the talking of the Mexicans “ 😂😂 as a Mexican that shit had me dying man 😂 Griffy needs to know he makes us Hispanics laugh 😂

Lol, the sad part is that the actual conversation is basically: "So we're trying to make them memorize answers for the meaningless standardized tests that determine how much funding we get and praying that more of them care enough to get good scores than last year?" "Yeah that sounds right." "What about the SAT?" "Oh, the rich kids will have their parents pay for prep, it's not like the rest of them need to go to university to get a degree in janitorial services."

30 year old, I recall learning cursive in school and the teacher telling us about how important and vital it was, and how essential it’ll be when we get to college. Aside from signatures, haven’t used it since

I wish my schools would have had things like wood shop, metal shop, automotive, etc. Would’ve saved me about 5-6 years of my life.

My high school had an Auto Tech course available for all 4 years and it helped me greatly. There were numerous other programs that were electives too that were incredibly helpful, like keyboarding class. I was a chicken pecker before that and now I've completed a thesis in my master's program. Sadly, none of these helpful programs were part of the core curriculum nor were they encouraged by any of the teachers. Hell, I didn't learn how to write a check until my senior year when a teacher decided to spend a class day educating us about that. She didn't even have to do that but honestly it just makes me feel embarrassed about how poor education can be when it comes to practical, real-life application.

I continued to write in cursive in high-school, only to annoy teachers who didn't like it / couldn't read it that well. When they asked me to write in print, I'd refuse telling them they taught me this so they'd have to deal with it lol. I feel like It got me out of a lot of critiquing from them since they wanted get my papers over with asap lol.

Kids: "umm how do we pay taxes and build our own busine-" Teachers: "mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell that is all you need to know"

As someone who had the opportunity to go to highschool in the ghetto and then transfer to a highschool in a upper middle class white neighborhood. I can confirm that the curriculum is drastically different as well as the quality of available textbooks and technology.

I was a C + student & labeled a problem because I asked how the things we’re being taught were gonna actually benefit in real life. I don’t regret it at all 😂😂

They didn't even discuss who was gonna teach the kids this stuff. How accurate 😅.

"What about black history? Really, Dick?! If our pure white children want to learn about monkeys!!!...they can do it at the zoo, NOT AT SCHOOL!" My black ass nearly spit my drink out laughing on that sh*t. 🤣 You crazy for that one Grif.

"the realest history" funniest joke in the whole video

“I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.” - John D. Rockefeller, early education school system pioneer

When a kid asks a teacher "Why do we learn this, we're never going to use it", the teacher isn't allowed to say "The smart kids might".

As a teacher I WISH we still had home ec, financial literacy, and automotive classes. STUDENTS NEED LIFE SKILLS

Griffy manages to hit real world issues perfectly and make hilarious

0:30 is it just me.... or is he the same guy in the background picture 🤣

1:25 that's what parents , google and youtube is for

"If they wanna learn about monkeys, they can do that in the zoo", omg this line just killed me💀🤣😭

These wigs he's using keep getting more and more diverse 😂🤣

The part where he said that children would need algebraic and calculus equations for the rest for their life and just looks at the camera had me. It was like "Johnny has five apples, he goes to the toilet after eating too much taco Bell, the temperature is 33° C. Find X". I'm sure school would have been way better if they let us know how to do taxes and perform first aid

Basic algebra and geometry is actually pretty useful in everyday life. As someone who took Calculus in college though, I'm not sure why anyone would need to take that as a mandatory math course

“They’re going to need Algebraic Equations for the rest of their life, I’m sure of it” *Looks into the camera 😐* This man is too funny😂😂😂

Comedy Central needs to give em a sketch show, he about to set records with how many people will be offended 😂

I love all of your skits.

I was also getting taught cursive, however since my handwriting was already nearly incomprehensible, cursive just made it looks like a bunch of scribbly lines. So they gave up and told me to write normally lmao.

"We should teach them how to do their taxes" said no school board ever.

As a dirty Mexican myself, I had to laugh so hard at the end lmao good thing I’m a software developer, had to break the pattern lol.

In my experience and paired with what pretty much everyone else has told me about their school experiences, these are the issues: -Overemphasizing the importance of high level mathematics if not purely to chase the clout Eastern countries were receiving for their high math scores -A good focus on English but a complete failure to help students understand why English is important and how it can help them in their daily lives -History, another good subject to know, is generally favoristic. I'm not just talking about the focus on America, but outright misportraying events in American history through a black and white lens. This is not only making people fucking stupid but they're using these inaccuracies to justify stupid social activist movements. Imagine killing your neighbor because a game of telephone led to you misconstruing "I helped your wife after she tripped" for "I fucked your wife after she tripped" and that's about where we are right now -A complete lack of classes that teach genuinely fucking helpful adult skills like when and when not to take loans, how to dress and behave not just for social interactions but for job interviews, how to budget yourself, etc. "That's what the parents are for", listen normally I wouldn't argue on behalf of the state overriding parents, but it doesn't hurt to retread familiar territory for those that have learned and it ONLY helps for kids growing up in shitty households -Debate. No really. Just have people go to mandatory debate classes. People these days have lost the ability to take any form of criticism or dissent and the social ramifications of this are staggering. People need to learn how to disagree with each other and be okay with that. You know, WITHOUT going at each other's throats like it's a gladiatorial match And the absolute biggest one: -MAKING LEARNING FUN Jesus fucking christ, learning doesn't have to be BORING. That was a LIE. The way lessons are taught is in the most barebones, least engaging way possible. No wonder retention is awful, people are regurgitating mind numbing amounts of homework and mental jargon without being shown how it can be applied practically or how it can even be used for fun hobbies. Me? I fucking hated math growing up. It wasn't until I started playing DND and using Roll 20 where I had to script my own macros that I learned math can be used for incredibly fun hobbies. You could literally teach an entire course on just how to practically apply complex math equations to a boardgame. Meanwhile Duolingo is teaching me faster and in a more engaging way than ANY of my language courses ever did.

I love how Griffy looks directly into the camera about needing math Lmao 🤣

The glance into the camera while talking about math is my favorite. I loved math and was an A student in every kind of math... and yet I remember almost none of it because I have used none of it since entering adulthood. Too bad there isn't a crystal ball that tells us our perfect career so we can know what classes to actually take.

"We still have spots left to fill in, can't have them have free time" "Just add in some mandatory work"

The stare at the camera after mentioning math is too accurate tho xD

I shit you not, I watch your videos during every meal and when I tell you that I choked when you screamed MONKEYS 😂😂😂

I'm glad Griffy's brave enough to address these issues. We watch him exaggerate it for content but the sad reality is that this stuff happened much worse.

He broke the fourth wall after mentioning how "useful" algebra is 😂 he's a real one for that!

The hard stare at the camera when talking about math... I feel that 😂😂

the power on the word monkeys caight me off guard lol

1:19 I died 💀💀

2:09 summed it up perfectly

"But who's gonna press us?"😂😂😂😂

nigga be making my day everytme with these

I’m already laughing and I haven’t even seen the video

1:45 - "Teach financial literacy..." Man, they prefer NOT teaching that so they can get kids into massive financial debt without understanding what they are undertaking.

It’s the sad truth. My high school had wood shop, culinary classes, and graphic design. I did the two culinary classes and graphic design classes (not by choice), but I never did wood shop despite wanting to. You would have to sign up for other courses or advance courses at a trade school outside of the school that hold classes during school hours. In order to get approval, you have to ask multiple teachers to sign a letter of recommendation to be considered for those classes with limited spots. Long story short, I did not make the cut for any classes and ended up graduating without any exposures to the careers I was interested in. That’s the life of being in a black school. Outside of poor quality education and outdated textbooks, you have limited choices and those choices don’t teach you passed a beginners level. So I ended up going to community college where I had to learn the hard way that the career I settled for was not right for me. Plus, I had to make up for the dog shite education I was cursed with.

The way he looks at the camera after mentioning algebra is hilarious 0:26

Algebra and calculus along with excel are useful tools in numerical problem solving environments i.e. most technical jobs. It helps describe the problem, to observe links/dependencies, to break it down into smaller problems etc. But no one gives you the equation to solve, you've got to leverage the skill you have and apply it.

1:05 the “who gon press us” line and the way he delivered and looked when he said it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omg pls do a part 2

I like the how you styled the wig like Joseph Joestar with the Joseph Joestar poster in the background.

That "but who gon press us tho" is the realest shit 😭😭😭 school systems not having the same curriculum been sus

The only man who is feared by the cancel culture and adored by people of every race.. because he manages to offend them all at the same time.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I swear Griffy makes the realest funniest skit on youtube!!! Name me someone better - IMPOSSIBLE. I've been following griffy for several years and I have NEVER skipped a video 😩🤘

The 4th wall break hits home for some reason loll

Griffy really had some PTSD with math by the way he just looked at the camera.

"im sure theyre gonna need algebreic equations for the rest of theyre lives" lolll fr

Taking calc in highschool right now knowing damn well I'll never use it again..

It's so sad that so many adults don't know how to manage their finances, do basic home repairs, or even cook a proper meal. I am so lucky that I was able to learn these basic skills from my parents, because I sure as hell didn't get any of that from school.

Home economics (tire changing, cooking, taxes, finances) is so underrated and it's genuinely sad that America hasn't caught up with the realization that modern parents themselves can't teach these things or don't care enough to do so. Mostly the former though.

I love how he breaks the wall at 0:45

I remember learning cursive, I did it very well. I wrote an 8 page paper in college in cursive and my teacher told me either type it or write it in a regular font. She said I don't get extra points for it being fancy. What a waste.

That laugh at the end was amazing

"I'm pretty sure they're gonna need algebraic equations for the rest of their lives" *stares sarcastically into the camera*

“So what about learning how to do taxes and other important shit?” “Good point… let’s make that class only half a semester and then go back to teaching algebraic equations for the rest of their school years!” “Genius!”

How have I never seen this channel!?

Ayye still hitting the mark keep doing what you doing

“As for the blacks (🙇🏾‍♂️ hahaha) sink or swim mfs!!” True true.

We need an hour long version of this 🤣

Griffy wildin with the wigs 😂

I lost it when he started looking at the Camera lmfaoooo

I'm loving this longbeachgriffy streak keep them coming

I failed Algebra 6 times. I felt that look in my soul.

“but who gon press us”

I find unspeakable joy in the way Griffy screams MONKEYS! 😂😂

Back to the writing cursive bit. They do need to bring that shit back. My girl wrote me a note for groceries, thought it was dietary notes from a certified BOS Specialist. [My text to her was just, "What the fuck is this?".]

1:14 YOOOOO NOOOO GRIFFY YOU GOTTA RELAX

“Idk… but who gone press us” great point might have to start using this line

Dude makes things that shouldn't be funny fucking hilarious, but then makes you think about it after the video is over.

Am I the only one who actually writes in cursive naturally everytime? 😭

"But who goin press us?" 👀 that look he had. 1:00

“If children wanna learn about MONKEYS!… they’ll do it at the zoo” Lmfaoo

high school really still playing us like that

Griffy successfully managing to bring up all the points to why the education system is flawed and why I despise school.

I love how history is pushed so much in America when they’re still such a young and new country. Here in England your local church down the road is probably twice as old as their country lol.

Uncle ruckus up in here

0:41 ayo he got the Joseph Joestar cut 😂😂

“Christopher Columbus discovering America” “He did?” “I don’t f****ing know but who gon press us?!😐🤨”

This guy always makes me laugh no matter how sad I am, thanks a lot bro, we love your funny videos 💯

The end of this video was literally how my high school was set up

this hit SO hard. years after graduating high school and this video summed it all up. pure disgrace. amazing video griffy

I like this sort of fearless comedy. This is how it should be done: shattering barriers.

Lmao I actually use geometry when deciding best price for pizza sizes.

“I’m pretty sure they’re gonna need algebraic and calculus questions for the rest of their lives 😐” 💀

He’s got an interesting assortment of wigs

I'm hispanic and my first language was Spanish and I forgot how to speak it through always speaking English all the time for people, and I was hoping Spanish class to help re touch with it... Sadly didn't happen 😞

😮🤦🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 When things were going so right i knew something was bound to go left . I literally watched this video about 10x now and im literally crying in laughter . You're so in character its spot on unbelievable these events took place . Original , one of a kind I Love it 🖤🙏🏾💯 !!!

I grew up in an upper middle class predominately white area. In 6th grade a guy from Morgan Stanely came in to teach us the basics of the stock market while another guy came in to teach us some very basic Japanese, including writing. In America, where you grow up not only determines the quality of the education you receive, but the opportunities or lack thereof that determine your future. Nearly everyone I grew up with is very successful. I'm Black btw.

Yes yes, let's teach our children cursive and then remove it 😂
