    Why can't national schools introduce lessons in school teaching kids to be vigilant and warn them of possible online scams and fraud and teach them how ot deal with online harassment and bullying.

    Why isn't schooling here applicable to everyday life?

    Why don't parents do this and let the teachers get on with academia?

    Because learning off realms of useless information to just regurgitate in an exam is ridiculous.

    Parents have to actually do something too and take some responsibility.

    Hence why none of us ever achieved any academic success nor went on to worthwhile careers.

    Obviously someone didn't learn enough reams!

    Yeah, sure who got anywhere in life by excelling in exams? What good did that ever do anyone?

    Where did I say "here"? I'm specifically referring to the Irish education system, because, shock horror, I'm Irish and this is an Irish discussion board.

    Should you not be asking this on a Finnish forum? You're not even living here.
    Or are we talking about what they should do in Finland?

    At the moment it's briefly done in the stay safe program on primary schools. They also do things such as safer internet day.

    That's not what the OP wants to hear though, because we can't do anything properly in this country.
