What are some things you think should be taught as part of the mandatory curriculum in schools?

I think swimming lessons a couple of times a week should be taught in schools. I know some schools run swimming programs that go for a few weeks each year, but I think they should be a regular occurrence… Knowing how to swim properly is so so important.

Also a subject on self-defence would go a long way!

Just the basics that had been taught for years. English, foreign language, social studies, science, mathematics, budgeting, physical education, music, art. A focus on real world skills, problem solving, how to look at problems from different angles and trial and error until a solution can be found (not just always spoon feeding the answers with no work and attempt first.

Self defence yes but swimming hell no!

Hate the chlorine I'm allergic and schools laugh at me for it!

Let alone how bad that is doing it regularly for your body and skin!

Can't be done also cause black people can't swim 😂. And school have to cater to the biggest losers now so no swimming

More focus on Sexual Education because holy crap people still don't know anything about the opposite gender's bodies or how certain organs even work.
