    I really miss things like shop class existing. I would have thrived in that kinda stuff.

    I don’t wanna reduce history but more practical skills would be nice. Honestly not really sure what I’d change to bring things like shop class back, but I probably wouldn’t want it to be history.

    English maybe? Its massively important that kids learn to read and learn from books but I think formal grammar and whatnot have way too much emphasis placed on them. Ability to communicate effectively is affected by grammar, but you can communicate extremely effectively with “wrong” or informal grammar, which people generally intuitively pick up on. I’d rather more emphasis on practical communication- but then I’m not sure that would actually make more space for things like shop class. I dunno 😅
