Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Think Should Be Taught In School (Closed)

Basic Life support and first aid. Saves lives every day

The importance of how to setup, stick to and balance a budget. The pitfalls of credit cards and how to build credit and keep your credit score in good condition.

Self-defense. It would empower those who are not confident, make the bullies afraid of picking on random kids, teach mutual respect and self-improvement. And now with the frequent school shooting situations, it's even more important.

ASL (American Sign Language) or the form of sign language you have depending on where you live. People need to be more open to the deaf community, and learning their language is one way to start.

Media literacy is more important than ever now. Too many people lack the tools to realize when and how they are being manipulated by media, whether that's buying products they don't need, or supporting political movements that work against their own self-interests.

Girls are always told to stay home at night and not to wear small clothes. I think schools should teach boys ( and girls) how to respect everyone , and how together we can stop the discrimination. Why not instead of telling girls to stop wearing short clothes , tell boys to keep their dirty mind with them ? Why not tell boys not to look at a girl in a dirty way ?

I think teachers should teach/encourage students to be creative in every subject, doesn't matter what that is. In my opinion, creativity is very valuable in life.

How to recognize the tricks that narcissists and abusive people use... gaslighting, love-bombing, grooming, moonwalking and the like. And how to safely react and escape them.

How to pay taxes. Basic entrepreneurship. Critical thinking

The truth.
For example I was taught to believe American colonists sought its independence for the right to a free, quality life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. This, of course, was declared by a group of tax-evading slave owners who claimed all men are created equal. Ooooookay.

Indian Schools-Basic sex education
People in our schools are yet to even know the basics of the

Financial/money management. Something I would have appreciated!

How to do your taxes, car repair, house repair, get a job, defuse a fight, have a political debate without violence, religious history, equal rights for all.

Past war/invasion/'discoveries' of 'new' lands from BOTH sides, not just those who were 'victorious'.

Critical thinking. Should start in kindergarten. Would help with so many other things.

Psychology, sociology, business, law. These are usually subjects you get in college, but I think they should be taught from a young age and are as important as history or math, for example.
Also, sex education. Still not very common where I live.

The truth.

MANNERS! How to act in polite company. Put down the phone! Look someone in the eye when they talk to you and you them, shake hands, open doors, basic introductions, learning people’s names, how to speak clearly in public and on the phone. Most people show lack of basic speech skills and education by simply talking. Posture could be a subcategory here.

Sustainability…..from the clothes you put on (chemicals, killing villages with toxic waste into rivers) to the books/pads/paper you use (all readily recycled) to the food grown onsite for school dinners (yeah, bring those back, have you seen the plastic waste from home lunch-boxes) to the lessons being taught on up-cycled computers (not every piece of tech needs to be in a tech-graveyard polluting the atmosphere) ……and this is just the start. Feel free to add more…..

how to get a job. most school's dont and will never teach this and just toss the students into situations with things that are completely useless in the world unless they aim for a specific job they arent even guaranteed to get because... they dont know how!
