Hey Pandas, What Class Does Not Exist In The Public School System, But Should? (Closed)

Two things I've always thought would be absolutely necessary but are basically ignored.

Money Management - We don't teach our kids how to maintain a checking acct, budget, get a loan, invest, save, buy a house, shop for insurance. We just toss them out on the street to fend for themselves.

Psychology - If we all had a better understanding of our fellow human and of ourselves, the world would be a much more tolerant ...and happier place.

i think there should be a class of how to take care of animals properly it should be optional tho

basic living skills: how to apply for a job, pay bills, money management, basic laws, where to ask for help for different things as an adult(mental health issues, work place problems, money problems etc. domestic problems), how to get pregnant if you want and what to expect. and so on.

-lgbtqia+ history
-general life skills (how to do taxes, pay off debt, etc.)
-basic medical needs (CPR, first aid, what medicines are for what, etc.)

School is a disgrace in the US. We need to find a way not to leave the graduates of High school unfit for anything but the lowest paid jobs by default. We need to attach the money to the student and encourage them to graduate early to go into their career fields earlier (and give them the money to go to college on). If there are no delays (loss of funds, terrible life events), we turn out a doctor at age 28. Assuming they retire at 65, they have spent almost half their life in school, and their serviceable life is only 27 years, but then many of them will go to part time because they will want to start families of their own, or they get sick in their later years. If we could get doctors even 4 years sooner, we would be less critically short, as they would have longer serviceable years.

photography - because i know a lot of kids that want to be a photographer when they grow up

A class of sleep training and nothing class
