If you could pick the classes taught in high school

[Fedorgasm]

There are typically 6 classes a student takes in high school.

I would choose these

1. Math
2. Science
3. English, motherfucker, can you write it?
4. Economics
5. Life/Career Skills
6. Elective (Art, languages, drama, history, etc).

Granted, making history an elective is bound to be controversial, but I just see so many young people who don't have the basic skills to survive as a working adult, yet they know all about Alexander the great.

I think teaching them life/career skills and economics would be more useful.

Sex Ed
Be better to learn it in school than from my mom teaching me how to put a condom on and stuff

That must've been awkward.

Everyone complains that there aren't enough financial/practical courses in high school, but we definitely took some basic financial competency courses at my high school. No one paid attention any more than they did in any other courses.

To the topic, some form of non religious spirituality. Would never work as people would shit themselves over it, but would be focused on basic ethics, developing a deep appreciation for nature/life on earth and what we are, learning mindfulness and developing compassion etc.

History good so you don’t repeat it … also if it real history and not just from the winners.

def need more economics , learn how loans work, school loans, finances , stuff like that. Also teach more trades as electives . Like we had shop but machining or car stuff and plumbing classes exc .
Like I can play hot cross buns on a recorder but can’t change my own oil

Physical Ed. and History aren't valued enough.

Logically I get Science, Math, etc. being important, but when I look at the masses and what would have the biggest impact vs. what we do now, it's those.

History presented in a palatable, entertaining way might help people understand the "Why's" of what's going on in the world around them.

Physical Ed. because, well it's pretty obvious in America at least.

...so we may not end up with smart leaders in tech or science (as if most would even go that route), but if we could just get the masses to have at least a bit of residual awareness of the world and their own body/health, might things a fraction better.

it was fine the way it was
science
math
english
history
PE
2 electives (7 periods)
I will say that rhetoric should be a mandatory elective

teaching a life/career is too specific and it better off for trade schools.... you don't have to go to college...you can go to a trade school after HS

To the topic, some form of non religious spirituality.

better off with religious spirituality as non religious spirituality sounds like nonsense.

I like the list, but I'd change it slightly:

1. Math
2. Science
3. English
4. Basic Finance
5. Basic Law
6. Basic Health
7. Basic Logic

Not all every year, which leaves a lot of room for electives.

That sounds like nonsense? Vs traditional religious teachings for kids? Seriously?

1. Physical education, yes you have to dress out and participate.
2. Computer tech- as it relates to doing jobs and socializing correctly
3. History - being ignorant of history is never acceptable
4. Science- the amount of kids who dont understand evolution or basic biology is crazy
5. Aptitude area- a course that student chooses for life skill, coding, leadership, banking, retail sales, teaching. Theres so many hard to narrow down areas
6. Sex ed/ physical/ mental health.
7. Math but nothimg above pre algebra is necessary for everyday life unless in a math skill area.

English and writing are also something that the basic should be over by 8th grade. Doing romeo and juliey and canterbury tales until you are a senior is kinda useless as Trig is to the kid that has not one aptitude for it.

brah, sex ed is like a 2 week class....lets be real. You stick the thing in the hole and stab it until white goo comes out

"Aptitude area" <-- way too you to get yourself into a track for one of these jobs.
