Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Think Should Be Taught In School (Closed)

We learn this as a compulsory in Grade 12 in Canada, or at least in my province.

Throw in some birth control and you've got something there!

I 100% agree

Yup. I was going to say this. Financial literacy and budgeting skills. All about loans, credit cards, credit scores, promissory notes, interest accrual, taxes, mortgages and escrow, insurance, maybe even delve a little into investing and 401ks.

Parents can teach this, too.

Instead of making bullies afraid, which is using violence to cure violence, properly taught self-defence would teach them to discipline their minds and bodies, and hopefully give them respect for other people.

Also assertive communication and boundary setting.

There are many sites online that teach ASL for free and tons of videos on YT doing the same, .

YES I started learning ASL off YouTube for that reason

My school has asl classes, but my parents are making me take Spanish for two years before I can switch to asl. I got an app to learn asl though

You can take that as a language credit at my school :)

I am partially deaf, that is the problem, partially. England runs courses for the totally deaf and for the non deaf, but try and find a SL course for someone like and you can forget it.

Definitely agree! More people need to be aware of the dangers of social media and marketing algorithms

My school does teach something similar to that

Parents should be teaching this.

If lesbians and bisexual females can control themselves around a girl in a shirt that shows her shoulders and short shorts, the issue isn't the girl being too revealing, its that the males have a lack of control

Hormones usually rule with awakening males.

Yes! It is so important because it helps our minds to develop better. Also, being creative in whatever way helps to boost your confidence.

Creativity is how inventions come about.

Anyone who has ever dealt with one wishes they could have had fore knowledge. VERY destructive individuals.

Don't think that you can really teach knowledge of people. Some get the hang of recognising abusers, narcissists and manipulators, some fall for them over and over again. It's not because some are smarter than others, it's because some are too optimistic about the goodness of people and they refuse to let bad experiences shatter their belief in the existence of good people.

To be fair in most countries paying taxes is quite easy. I don’t know why usa makes it so difficult. Here you get a pre filled online document, you check if it’s correct and you might add things like your loan to get a bit of discount.

Real history is so much more interesting than the sanitized version. Class would be in high demand and everyone would want to know more!

Literally 3/4 of what I was taught of history through grade school up through high school was simply a lie.

Yep! They believed in equality for white men. That was about it.

See, you're right that they need to teach the truth otherwise you get idiot comments like this.

Same with Canada, although I think it's been a bit more truthful than when I went to school. It certainly changed since my mom went to school. Louis Riel went from traitor (as my mom was taught), to hero of the Metis (as I was taught). We didn't learn much about Indian Residential schools or the 60s Scoop. It was very watered down.

And sex education that is not only “use a condom”. We never learned about things like how discharge is natural for women (I was really ashamed of it as a kid), how menstruation works, different birth control, sterilisation methods, diseases like endometriosis…

If you don't want children, Keep It Zipped !!!

Parents are the main factor in how good or bad the children are with money. If the parents make it a habit of spending money they don't have, the children won't be good at budgeting and handling money. If the parents only spend money they have and postpone purchases until they have saved enough, the kids will know what it is to save and budget.

YES! Life skills and the VALUE of physical labor.

And not just from who were losing. People need to learn that all human civilisations have committed atrocities. That western colonisers did horrible things and we should have that in mind to not repeat them. But that any other group also did them, like the Mayan using slaves, the Mongolians raping and pillaging, the Bantu committing genocide against the san etc.

Indoctrination camps (school systems) WANT compliance Not critical thinkers to see through their bs.

All of these were taught in my high school (Australia). Psych introduced in compulsory science class before time came to choose electives. Similar with business and law- we had a compulsory 'economy and society' class and then could be selected as electives.

Law in Canada can be taken as an elective in High School. I'm glad I took a class. My daughter took Psychology as elective, too, and it helped her quite a bit.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

What truth? If the Nazis would have won WWII the truth about concentration camps and the "Endlösung" would have been totally different from what it is now. Your truth might be quite different from my truth, depending on where you're living, what education you get and how good or bad your and your family's life is.

Parents have a huge part in teaching their children this.

It seems to me that people put too much emphasis on the "look me in the eye" thing. It's extremely difficult for many people to do so, whether because they are a person with Autism/etc. or because they are an abuse victim/survivor, among other reasons. It doesn't mean that we aren't listening or don't care. Btw, it's often a sign of aggression in the animal kingdom.
