Definitely gardening. Maybe then kids would eat more veggies.

Woodwork, metal, car repair, plumbing and I'm sure there are others, that should be made mandatory for males and females to take at lease two of these classes. I know I would have loved too, instead of just home economics.

the things they could of taught us....

It's not "could of" OP it's "could've" which is a contraction of could have. Just like should've, and would've. That's what you should learn for today's lesson.

They should teach everyone how to spot and avoid liberal progressive bullshit! Instead they indoctrinate our kids into their twisted world of lies and propaganda.

 Quoting: silent

So, you want to be taught but you don't want to learn?
You'd be amazed at the things that were taught in schools but only a few paid attention. Schools don't have time to teach anything to students except how to learn. You start to do that when your mind finds itself capable of processing some of what we should've picked up in school. What I think should be taught in school is as little as possible other than critical thinking skills. The rest you learn as you go.

 Quoting: Tracy


I agree with most of these. But the bold ones are absolutely NO WAY.

How to achieve orgasm taught in schools? Seriously? No.

Let someone else teach what's normal and good with family? Yeah, because one person's "normal" is another person's "wtf moment." I don't think so. The christians will tell us that it's normal to indoctrinate your kids into the absurd idea that all humans are worthless pieces of shit. The muslims will be teaching that it's normal to kill your daughters if they "dishonor the family."

Hell no.

Other than that, several really good thoughts.

Re: Things they should have taught us in school!
I made my son take home-ec in school so he learn to cook and clean up after himself.

I TRIED to make my daughter take a class--I can't remember what it was called, but it was all about small repairs on everyday household items.

I was told she couldn't take the class because she was a GURL!!!!!


I think they should teach patience in school because lord knows I needed a lot getting my kids through all the BS!

1. Capitalizing the first word of sentences.
2. Not using the phrase "should of"

Re: Things they should have taught us in school!
The school system is so bloated and ineffective, maybe they just better focus on Reading, Writing, and Math.

Parents should teach thier kids:

How to budget
Balance a checkbook
Eating right
Religion
Politics
and Sex

If you don't your a crappy parent.

Or you don't know how to do it yourself. Putting anyone who doesn't know something as "a crappy parent" just shows that you're willfully unaware of the realities around you.

If parents knew how to budget and how to balance a checkbook and how to read contracts well enough, there wouldn't be the 'homeowners' crisis that there is.

You can only teach what you, yourself, know.

Exactly, I'm kind of disappointed in GLP'ers on this. Kids do not need to be taught about how to finance and writing check books, I see that as more indoctrination. It is the same as being told what/how to do something instead making them think for themselves.
