Re: What class do you think should be taught in all schools?

I live in Belgium and graduated in 2002, so I don't know how relevant this is but:

- 20th century history. I don't know how it's done elsewhere, but here we start with dinosaurs in our first year of junior high and then move through history until our senior year when we got to WWI. We did that and then I thought we'd finally get to what I'd consider to be the most interesting part, except we barely skimmed it. Instead we got a bunch of boring political stuff about NATO and the EU and the UN. I think. I honestly think they expect us to learn about 20th century history from documentaries and whatever our parents tell us.

- How to Adult. It's a stupid phrase but it is a fitting description. Basically it's a bunch of other stuff they expect you to get from your parents. Not all parents are fit teachers, or (as in my case) they die before anyone thinks of this stuff. But simple cooking, cleaning, sewing, home repair. Basic financial stuff like bills and taxes. Maybe some things about health, like what are some basic things you always need to stock.

- Computer classes. I learned some binary and made a light blink in junior high, and got to play around with an Excel sheet for a bit. That's it. Considering how freaking important computers are today, I feel woefully under-equipped. Kids should know different operating systems, every trick for MS Office and some coding.
