Also, wouldn't be the worst thing to teach them some financial skills, how to avoid debt, track expenses, manage money. Of course much of this will change when this system collapses. There is so much fluff in school schedules these days there is certainly room for VOTEC classes, and get rid of the nonsense classes as well.
Learn REAL (non woke) Sex Ed to understand and prevent pregnancy and disease, learn impulse control, abstinence and setting goals for the future in lieu of instant gratification.
HIGHSCHOOL YEARS 1-3:
The first 3 years of High School should focus on Reading, Writing and Arithmetic and then as many of the extra curricular trades and training programs as one can fit in.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR YEAR:
Senior year should include additional 'Life Skills' which must include: money managing, prep and practice interviewing for a job, resume writing, understanding proper etiquette, manners, courtesy and protocol.
A final course on 'How to wash and iron your clothes', preparing healthy meals for cheap and proper personal hygiene should be in there, too.
Please begin teaching Latin early at first grade along with reading and writing. It's much easier to learn at this young age and then people would easily pick up other Romance languages; French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, etc. Latin gives you the root word foundation.
Then adding to everything mentioned here I would love to see Craft Guilds created like UK and Europe used to have: Stone Masons, Stained Glass, Wood Carvers, Painters, Sculptors, etc. There would be a lifetime of learning and passing down knowledge through the members of the Guild. We could have beautiful buildings again! ✨
One of my kids got a classical education at a charter school. That school had the only perfect SAT scores in the state. 7 times now amd the highest average SAT scores in the northwest for students that attended for all 13 years. The public system.hates them.
