While learning the history of your own country and the rest of the world is important, how much of it is really necessary? Should P.E. be required? Or is it a waste of time. How much schooling can probably be replaced with more important information?
The debate: Are our current school curricula maximizing student learning?
What classes do you think should stay? What isn't really helping? What else would be useful?
In my opinion, history is interesting, but other than for geography and my senior econ/govt classes, I dont know that I really learned a massive amount of useful information. I would say that at least half of history classes could better be replaced by philosophy, which would enable critical thinking about important issues.
