If I had the freedom to customize my education I would add topics that pertain more to real life such as teaching children about the role of taxes and the aspects of loans and homes. I would drop classes that become less important as you get older since you have already learned more about them like extra science classes, although I do feel like most of the classes we take are important.

Kids barely pay attention in school as it is and “real life” classes that won’t be relevant to the students for years will just become another requirement that is done to check a box and forgotten by the time they need that info.

I would agree with adding classes on personal finance, however dropping classes like science and other STEM subjects should not be the answer. I would say dropping extracurricular classes like religion released time, extra PE, etc. should be more heavily considered.
@9L7HVJS2mos2MO
Math subjects over Algebra 1 shouldn't be required and chosen. At least they are where I am. Electives should not be required either, it's unreasonable for what is supposed to be choice decisions be required chosen decisions.

I would like to add curriculums that focus purely on certain careers are more skill-specific and involve hands-on learning.
There should be mandatory classes in highschool for sociology/statistics.

I would add a more effective and well done sex education course that is free of primarily heteronormative messages. I would increase the amount of diversity in school literature and add more stories about people of color and a variety of cultures. In addition, I would add a unit on studying the effects of global warming and environmental sciences as well as the importance of sustainability and preservation of wildlife and natural resources.

If I had more freedom over my education I would like to learn more AP Human Geography but I am tired of doing math, more languages would be nice too.
@9L7HNCX2mos2MO
I would add more money management classes and drop the required hours for college/graduation.
@9L7HS3H2mos2MO
I would add more hands on classes to give students who don't want to go to college an alternative.
