Which one would you pick, if you had to?

I don't know, probably chemistry. I think that covers everything from making computers to anything you need in med school.

...what med school? You don't have a med school. You get anatomy at the 18th century level from art, and you're done. Chemistry won't help you much, as your doctors won't know biology, endocrionology, or psychology enough to use it. Your system gets us no doctors.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is for K-12. I say K-12, and you start thinking of all the things a student needs to know after 8 years of med school. You're going to have to stay on the topic.

It's too *late* to start teaching kids these principles. These kids will leave K12 with very little math, no chemistry (we buy paints), no biology, a tiny bot of anatomy, and no interest in sciences. And, despite that, you claim your construct has functioning med schools.

It literally can't- you didn't even hint these things might be interesting, or important for kids- those are things you have to do early on. How are you gonna teach them physics when they stopped math at a level *just* enough to program?

You have people leaving *High School* with no idea what their glands do -are they gonna *start* learning this in unis, completely from scratch?

So you're saying what I propose is no worse than what's already happening? Great, then it's just fine. As I said, you're asking for school to solve way more problems than it should. Requiring HS students to understand a complete MD level of the endocrine system is insane.

I don't want an MD level. But I'd like a level that enables you to *choose* MD if you want to. What you propose is worse, because it rejects all STEM basics -at least kids now have a general idea of how cells work before they go to uni.

Schools *exist* to educate broadly, and sufficiently. If it's not, then method reform is in place, not rejection of the subjects *themselves*. I see, though, we won't agree. Because you believe knowledge is a burden, instead of the opportunity I see it as.

I see school as an oppressive system of indoctrination where people force kids to learn way too much then complain when they know nothing then try to force more on them to "fix society", but, more importantly, I think you're taking my question way too seriously. Like.. way way.
