As a History professor, students in my class need to be able to locate every country in the world.  No if they retain that, I have no idea.  But for just a moment in their lives, they should know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia.

What history do you teach? One of my biggest problems with American education is the lack life skills classes, World history, Native history, and geography. You could add psychology and philosophy to that list. Every child should have to do at least one year of psychology, philosophy, geography, and government. That’s where one of our biggest gaps is.

Philosophy is flat out boring for teenagers. Today generation's attention span is like 20 seconds and you want to teach them philosophy? Children aren't adults and shouldn't be treated as such. America has the highest obesity rate in the world so you should rather teach more gymnastics :p

Yes, we are terrible need of a better physical education and health classes. Most of our middle school and high school physical education only makes kids hate physical activity and sports (the exact opposite of what it should actually be doing)
