What Topics Should Our Kids Learn In School?

Let's face it. Algebra, trig. Nonsense when compared to what we need in real life. If our education system didn't require so much of this, but perhaps a little bit of it & more world-like classes, our kids would have fun, do well, stay more interested, & be for the most part great students.

Tupac Says It all here:

“School is really important: Reading, writing, arithmetic. But what they tend to do is teach you reading, writing, arithmetic…then teach you reading, writing, arithmetic again. Then again, then again, just making it harder and harder just to keep you busy…there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in America, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but…their class is on…gym….You know?…I like foreign languages. I think that they are important, but I don’t think it should be required. Actually, they should be teaching you English, and then teach you how to understand double talk, politician’s double talk. Not teaching you how to understand French and Spanish and GERMAN. When am I going to Germany? I can’t afford to pay my rent in America! How am I going to Germany?”

Do you agree? Should our kids be learning these world-like topics listed above? Or keep it the same? Who really needs our topics that are taught now in the future?
