If you were restricted to teaching a child only one subject (Math, Biology, English...) what would it be? Basically what field of study do you feel is most important and if you had to base a child's future on it what subject do you feel will help him out the most down the road.
BTW: Reading and Writing are prohibited, we're talking higher education.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
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.
Barring that, I would say English. You can get decent number of jobs if you know proper English.
Mathematics. I don't know when you wouldn't need it, unlike something like biology or geography.
That said, there's a reason we study a variety of things in school.
Sociology.
Sometimes I think the world can be a much better place if Sociology were a required subject in schools.
I chose Sociology as my major in college, not because I wanted to make a career out of it, but because after taking one soc class, I knew that this was a major that would make me a better person. And it has. I think I'm a much more conscientious human being than I was prior to taking a bunch of Sociology classes. It broadens your mind, makes you challenge stereotypes and misnomers and open your eyes to the world around you.
Common sence... seriously, way to many people don't have it.
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
Religious Education.
Hey, the Welsh Assembly deems it important enough to force every pupil in the country to study it until they finish school!
there was a picture here
Maths teaches you fundemental laws of everything.
physical sciences
I kinda agree with Miriel, as I do Sociology at college and it really does apply to pretty much everything.
English.
Eng Lit
I didn't do it after Year Nine. There was an optional GCSE available in it, but so few people signed up for it they relegated it to an after school club.Originally Posted by Old Manus
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I like this approach, since Common Sense isn't higher education.

It was compulsory for me all the way through, even though we only got 1/2 a GCSE for doing it xDI didn't do it after Year Nine. There was an optional GCSE available in it, but so few people signed up for it they relegated it to an after school club.
rotc. it teaches leadership, social interaction, attention to detail, teamwork, and discipline
Oh gods, why? ಥ_ಥ
Physics, because it holds both math and the laws of nature, it makes you aware of how the world works around you.
Also informs you of the many dangers that excist.
