What is most important in education

[Breine]

I would ask him which subject he is most interested in, which field of study he would like me to teach him, and what he sees himself doing when he is an adult.

I'd have to agree with this.

Overall, I'd probably have to agree with Miriel and say Sociology or maybe Psychology, just because they are so broad and usable subjects.

Common sense. Screw those other pointless subjects. If it can only learn one thing, it's learning something useful. It's also one of the few things that don't need another subject to be understandable.

Recess. The best thing you can do in life is be a kid.

You just haven't met enough people, b_n.

Well to be honest, I would argue that Sociology and Psychology could both be renamed the "Study of Common Sense". Reason being if you have good common sense these are the two easiest classes to take in life.

As for asking what the kid wants to know... I will clarify to make this more interesting. What would you teach him if he answered one of the following:

1) Your best subject

2) Your worst subject

3) I just want to play video games

4) I just want to watch reality television
