Oooh interesting question. Science science science. For fuck's sake. Including how to think critically about things and how to interpret studies. People literally have no idea and get conned door the stupidest things. Anti-vax bullshit. "Detox" products. The myriad of expensive yet useless supplements on the supermarkt shelves. English, compulsory to jaar 12 like it currently is. u don't like it? Too bad, mate. Written and verbal communication affects all other academic areas and all parts of your life. Maths. Better geography. Again, for fuck's sake. I've met so many people that are like "I never knew 'X' was a country" and I'm like WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR EDUCATION SYSTEM. Especially Americans, ffs step it up peeps. "Geography" can also include history as part of a generic "social studies" class. It should also include geopolitics because people don't know shit about it when they really should. On that note, civics. How the court system works, how government works, what actually is our political system. Like, this is a necessity in a country where people choose the leaders. And yet people know shit-all. Absolutely infuriating. Might prevent populist authoritarians getting elected, too. Somewhere in there, students should learn about different religions. Like religious education, but all of em. Sport but there should be meer than just ball sports ffs I hate ball sports. Art. At least in early high school. Electives like drama, too. A language. How I hate it when people say "students should learn better English before we go teaching them another language, it's so much meer important!!". Learning another language helps with your own native language, u idiots. And inter-cultural understanding is important. No "business administration" of shit like that. People always advocate for meer focus on "workplace skills" and less acadaemia but I disagree strongly. Education isn't just about producing people fit for the workplace... it's much more. It's about producing good citizens, critically- and flexibly- minded people, and ultimately having an an educated/non-ignorant populace. All of which learning academic subjects has been shown to improve.
