What additional subjects do you think should be part of the core curriculum?

Question

What would you (have) enjoy(ed) learning in High School? What subjects do you think are crucial to success in life and work?

Answer 1

Ooooh, bad question to ask me! I have some definite ideas on this subject. Here goes.

Communications: This should include composition, business writing, and correspondence, as well as research practices and reading different materials, such as periodicals and non fiction.

Personal Finance: Too many people seem to think that this is picked up by osmosis in college. It should be required in high school.

Technology: This should include computers and different program systems.

First Aid and CPR: Enough said.

Literature: American, English, and World Literature.

History: World and American

Geography: Should include terrain, natural resources, political systems, etc. Also, map reading and use of compass.

Global Issues/Political Science.

Mathematics/Geometry

Science: Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, etc.

Foreign Language: Spanish, Arabic, Sign language, and others.

I think that these are all things that are crucial to the needs of young students. It seems that the curriculum today is a mile wide and an inch deep, but we need more concrete things in it. I hope this helps.

Civility. How to be a good neighbor. Peace initiatives. Money managment and how to be responsible
