Classes that should be taught in high school. Rating Options

I was going to put this in School but since it turned into a debate in my English class, I figured it would turn into one here as well.


My professor brought this up yesterday. He sent us some articles to read. One here & the other here. Those of you in high school, what do you think they should be teaching you? And those of you who are out of high school, what do you wish they taught you? A lot of people said finance for sure. And anything credit related as well. Social skills also came up. With texting & all that, some kids don't even know how to form complete sentences anymore. Some guy in my class said that he thinks our parents should be teach us these things instead of schools. I dk. I was going to say some other things but they slipped my mind :(



So, DEBATE!


Oh wait, here's a list of possibilites:

• Credit
• Finance
• Environmental
• Compositing
• Relationships
• Parenting
• CPR
• Meditation
• Social class
• How to read financial terminology / contracts

Computer class so people like me will have one class that they dont have to study for and get straight a's.

They already offer computer classes. At least at my high school they did. And it wasn't an easy A class. We had to do assignments in Word, Excel, & PowerPoint. If it were one of those easy A classes, then you really wouldn't be learning anything. It'd probably be one of those classes that if you show up everyday, you'd get an A.

And a class on how to respect your elders [& parents] and stop being spoiled brats should be taught to every student also.

Oh man this one would be good for my brother.

I remember in my Econ class, our teacher made us predict the dow every week. It was pretty fun but towards the end of the semester he stopped doing it because most people didn't do it. I learned a lot in that class. I actually liked it although it dealt with a lot of equations & confusing things.
