- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

History? That's the one you wanna get rid off? Do you just want obedient working bees that easily fall for propaganda and previously used control tactics? π
I didn't say get rid of, I said reduce.
They don't teach enough history already. Reducing it would be a complete disaster.
Fair enough, but I still think that's the one that shouldn't be reduced. For instance, ICE is a mercenary group for human trafficking working in the interest of for-profit prison shareholders, we have seen this something like this before, right?
What would you reduce instead?
Have different types of high schools instead. My cousin went to bakery school in Germany at 16, for example.
That's not how it is in the US? Here in Czechia you can either go to a general "gymnasium" (aka general high school) or to a high school that specialises in a certain subject, or to a specialised school that is not a high school (usually trades).
There are basically only general high schools in the US with two small exceptions: religious schools that teach religious studies in addition and STEM magnet schools that have a bit better science/math programs.
