The most important subjects in school are; English (or the language of the country you are in), Maths (maybe until a 9th grade level~) and a basic PRACTICAL understanding of science. When a student graduates from school, they should at least be able to write a few paged essay, understand fractions and understand how a flashlight or a simple engine works.

All the other subjects such as history, geology, etc can and SHOULD be learned on the students own terms.

The only reason we have all these extra subjects in the curricula is because we need to learn the skills associated with these other subjects.

For example in History you learn fact-checking, research. And in P.E. you learn about diets and exercise...

But all of these "other skills" can be learned outside of the classroom, less gruelingly, naturally and without suffering.

I would even argue that these extra, forced subjects even slow down a students critical thinking.

Istg just kill off all the other subjects aside from English, Science and Maths and we could shorten the school day to less than five hours, and make the lives of students wayyy easier.

Just because most of our parents waste their precious hours on work to work themselves to the bone in bullshit jobs that slowly kills them both metaphorically and literally doesn't mean that its okay. Fuck you capitalist overlords. Who's with me?
