I would imagine society would heavily benefit from more mages working hand-in-hand to solve some of the most pressing matters in society.
For example, we can have more mages specializing in restoration magic to heal the sick, or mages specializing in Earth magic to create more robust infrastructure system like roads or aqueducts.
There seems to be a shortage of mages to utilize for industries such as agriculture or production. If mages work together to solve civil and societal issues, then I wonder what would be some of the results.
Maybe not the best words, but having a time dedicated to outdoor education or adventure education has been proven to be beneficial, see forest schools when they are done right.
Outdoor and adventure education should be enforced, but only to the extent that if some wants to go do something similar, like go read, or chat with friends then that's okay, but the idea is to remove them from the stressful environment of school.
Also, the added perk is that it takes school children outside of classrooms, which makes the schools more resistant to dramatic changes (Source: I did a master's degree in this)
Physical fitness is defined as the ability to carry out tasks without fatigue. Physical education is the teaching and learning of physical activity in a school gymnasium or other settings (Acara.
After taking econ classes in college, it seemed like a lot of this stuff really could be condensed and simplified to be approachable for young children/teenagers. Understanding basic economic principles goes a long way with helping people understand how the world and systems they participate in function and it is mind boggling to me how many people have absolute ZERO understanding in this field. So many bad takes could be prevented if people were required to learn the basics. Is there any reason why this wouldn't be a good idea?
Edit: A good article I found when trying to find something else to respond to a comment. I think this does a good job explaining why I think it's important. Obviously some people think I'm talking about online Twitter takes, sorry I forgot most people can't draw an inference to save their lives. By "take" I mean ideas/opinions/understandings in general that they base their actions upon.

The idea that forcing kids to go to school to get a basic education (learning how to read, write, do basic math, and learn history and science) is violating children's liberty is so fucking stupid. I'm kind of disappointed with TJ for not pushing back on this embarrassing level of stupidity.
Hey dudes! I was just thinking about how a lot of Northern European countries have super high levels of English proficiency. Asking an Icelandic person if they can speak English is almost like asking if they know how to read. I don't know the details of how English education works in these countries, but I would imagine they start young and incorporate English into several aspects of the school curriculum.
Would you like to see this approach to English - where everyone can speak it at a high level - adopted in your country? How would your country benefit from a high level of English proficiency? Would there be backlash/opposition to this kind of proposal?
TLDR: would you be in favor of an English program where ALL high school graduates leave school with an ADVANCED level of English like in Northern Europe?
I just started an /r/AntiSchooling subreddit if anyone's interested.
Wondering if it's a controversial topic on here. I know it's consistent with anarchism, it just doesn't seem like schools are criticised very often.
Compulsory Education from 4 to age 21 follows a rough standard curriculum until age 16, followed by choosing subjects per year until you are 21.
Compulsory Education from age 4 to 18 works the same, except chosen subjects begin at age 14.
Compulsory Education from 4 to 16 with state funded options follows a set curriculum until you are 14, followed by two years of chosen subjects. Then you can either try to find an internship, study abroad, find work (with extra state funding to help you) or pursue further education.
All options of Compulsory Education have state funded options, but private school options would likely exist for those wealthy enough.
i am 18 years old, about to graduate high school, and i have no clue what the proper cpr techniques are, and i would have no idea of what to do if someone began having a stroke/heart attack besides calling an ambulance.
i guess this isn’t that much of an unpopular opinion, but i am astounded that this isn’t taught (at least in Australia), or that schools don’t mandate a cpr training course for all students.
but i guess learning about Shakespeare and Pythagoras Theorem is more important…
just leave it up to us to figure out ourselves how to potentially save someone’s life i guess. smh
When my brothers gave the exam in 2016 and 2015 for IGCSE they did Urdu Secondary. Alongside my cousin also got the option for Urdu second language in his 10th class but now when I am giving the exams its Urdu First language.
We did not have any foreign passport so how did my brothers and cousin got urdu second language, but its compulsory for Urdu First Language? I am doing GCSE, does IGCSE and GCSE make a difference?
