    Miss News-Lady lied to me. WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?!
    I took a business math class that covered checkbooks and mortgages and loans all that jazz, but it wasn't required here. I just needed half a math credit.

    psht, I've learned all my from video games and I've turned out just fine. There are just certain things you can't learn in school man.

    If people are red, it's because they're either invulnerable or close to dying, depending on their facial expression. Turtles are evil and must be stepped upon, watch out for the ones with wings. If someone is so dizzy they have trouble standing on both feet, it means you can kill them in a brutal way. If you are jumping across a pit, you can bet your blue ass a green poison-barfing lizard will jump up and pull you in. Don't worry about spending money on hookers, just kill them afterwards and get it back. If you HAVE to walk under a chandelier, at least try to trick it into falling first. Sometimes it works to shoot locks open with guns, but it won't work if the lock is rusty, in which case the only thing that will work is oil, etc etc.

    The history of political thought, the practical application of political systems, their strengths and weaknesses, and the philosophical origins of and justifications for historical and modern concepts of government, law, and so forth. Nobody should graduate until they can write a comprehensive paper explaining why voters choose to vote when rational choice theory suggests that it is a profitless act in the vast majority of cases, or tackle a similar issue in politics.

    For the most part of my elementary schooling, my vocabulary and spelling ability was in large part due to the large amount of games I played. That's changed once school stopped failing at teaching, but I still owe a lot of things to gaming

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    How about the world stops lying to the student population by telling them that university is the only possible way to live ever, and if you don't go you'll die alone and poor like a scummy parasite and your family will disown you and dogs will pee on you? That'd be a good start. So many people fail at life because the world tells them to focus on uni.

    To be honest BoB i'd be frightened to think of you teaching my children.
    If you don't know who I am you were clearly of single digit age when I stopped posting on this forum.

    I'm old skool.

    ..and FF8 is clearly still the best.

    To be honest a comparative religion/World Religion class. It is more to promote a greater understanding of various cultural and religious traditions. It would give them a historical context for each tradition as well as a general understanding of their practises and beliefs.

    Really do think that Sociology should be a mandatory field of study in High School. It's the only subject I've ever taken that I think actually made me a better person.
