My first thought in bold. I feel like I've actually been taught at some point about a guy back in ancient days who told the scribe what he wanted people to think happened in his battles and thus made it history. Truthful history will be hard to come by but with the internet and so on it is becoming easier.

IMO, the only usefull subjects are : English, math, physical education.
Of course, i may be having a silly moment and might have forgotten one, but you won't necessarily NEED to know things like art and music. Unlike things like banking, marketing. ( maybe not marketing, but a way to manage your money wisely ;o )

History is taught so we don't make the same mistakes.
Science is useful for survival such as identifying plants mixing compunds to make fire or make poison etc.
I don't know what should be taught in schools, but maybe an enhanced English class would do well as seeing 65% are gangsters who are pretty illiterate when it comes to everything.

And History is important because
"We study the past to understand the present; we understand the present to guide the future"

William Lund

Math is important because it exists in every corner of the earth.
and Science is important because everything is in fact science.
And learning Science without math would prove extremely difficult without
the basic knowledge for math.

Anyways in Canada there is this one class called Planning10. You only take it in grade 10 and it covers Drugs, Sex, Health (some people NEED this) and a math class called EMath that teaches you about banks and how to use em properly, hardly the math we should be learning but meh, It also covers long division, some algebra and fractions. there quite simplified, but that's the point to get you good at something small and to work your way up. These two seem pretty necessary to me, but should be slightly revised.

We also don't have History, we have Social Studies which covers geography, religion/philosophies, and history. what goes on in history? Just history? Or is it like Social Studies, but just called History?
Oh, and more technology classes should be taught, with all the advancements more and more jobs are using computers, or technology.

That's basically a street class, ( or a sex-ed, but since it has drugs, idk what you could call it. )
While this is slightly different from the direction the rest of you are going, I feel that this talk is seriously relevant.

<+veb> someone make ducky smod
Science and english are probably the most important to me, science is important for understanding the world we are situated in and english helps us express our ideas and thoughts

While history might not as practical, it is still expected that you have a basic understanding of the history of the human race.

You can pick that up by just socialising. I've learnt more about history just from talking to people than from 5 years of learning history in some form at school. Most of the history you learn in school is pointless anyway. The way I see it, learn from the mistakes of the past and then don't repeat them.

Unless it's Marxism, repeat that.

Marxism/Socialism has never worked long term or for that matter very well in the short term, what makes you think it can ever work?
