And how clean the air and water are supposed to be.

This is what I am screamimg

Basic biology and child care.

Domestic violence awareness

media competence

You mean for education to take over the role of parents?

Civics. Reagan got it kicked out of public schools. We're reaping that legacy now.

Many of these topics have been taken care of by family, taught by parents in the past. The attitude towards school seems to have changed over the last years, often parents delegate the work that they have been doing/should do to the schools (e.g. because they are working and don't have the time, or because they don't know this themselves, or because they are lazy). School can't take care of everything, unfortunately.

Taxes would only be needed because scumbags at Intuit (of TurboTax fame) keep lobbying against simplifying it. There is literally no reason for it to be so complicated except a handful of jerks want to gouge us every year.

But biology is taught in school throughout the years !

And when are they going to teach basic sexual health education in class ? To at least know the biology of their growing bodies, prevent STD’s, and I know this may sound harsh but at least let young men know that menstruation isn’t something women can hold it until they go pee ? We have TWO holes guys and they do two different things ! Lol

Ah no. Those are parent jobs, not teachers.

Ask your dang parents. Teachers can’t do everything in 180 days.

Um, our curriculum is set by the State, which is overseen by our legislators, which the people elect into office. You have a direct line to make those changes. Help us help you!

Basic automotive repair skills too

So, survival guide in capitalism

Going to be unpopular post, but it has to be asked....aren't life skills something parents should be teaching their children?

Instead, we got to learn about the climate ideal for crop cultivation in America while living in India🤦‍♀️

i was in work program in High School that was separate from the higher academic classes. Math was all about budgeting, taxes, insurance, stocks and bonds, etc. Career Ed. class was all about interviews, job searching, cover letters, resumes and 3 week onsite work stints for school credit 3 times a year at various types of businesses of your choice. Keyboarding class was all about improving accuracy and speed while typing. These were mandated to be in the program. English, History were normal. Phys Ed was all about nutrition, CPR, anatomy and what exercise does to the body. There might have been a little bit of self-defense but some moves are considered illegal in Canada, so it's more about knowing when to walk away, how to block and hold, that kind of thing. Despite what you learn in school, not everyone applies everything they learned in their adult years.

NVC – Non-Violent Communication! For healthier relationships with others

some of this should be taught by parents, but sadly is not.

First aid as well. Should be mandatory

They used to teach a class that covered 2, 3, 4, 5, it was called economics. Yes, in high school.

I couldn't agree more, being a teacher myself, as well as a person who wishes I would have been taught those things when I was in school. Taxes still baffle me!

I would add logic and critical thinking. Teach them HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

Absolutely! The building blocks of being a productive adult member of society.... hopefully. One of the best things I ever learned was how to balance my checkbook. Before I went off to college, my mom or my dad would sit down with me, like 6 months before I actually left.. and taught me how to handle money. Balancing the check book, deposit, savings and withdrawal. I never bounced a check in my entire life, ever. That makes me proud. And, I check on my account/ our account at least 3X a week.

I agree. I was lucky to have a high-school that had an Independent Living elective class. I took it and greatly benefited from it.

Also, how to tell an Estate Agent to f**k off!

Geology

- How not to be a Di¢k

100% agree. I would have been so much better off if these had been taught in school.

Common sense should be on that list too

common sense

Absolutely 💯 agree with you

driving?

This is so true.

I don't disagree, but there sure are a lot of young married people in AITA

🎶This is the remix baaabyyyy!🎶

In that case any child of mine were going to be spoiled entitled brats, I believe.

I just started adding a criminal amount of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where am i, rest is a right.

All Shrek wanted was to snack on eye balls and be left alone.

I wouldn't mind getting a Dyson for Christmas.
