I'd start teaching The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski in all high schools. I'd also suggest that people who don't want to learn be sent in to some sort of apprenticeship after core classes. I also think that they should start talking more about the connectivity of different areas. I've heard a lot of people complain about having to take math and science courses in high school, which is completely ridiculous.

I would personally like to see more psychology, sociology, economics, and higher geometry courses earlier in high school. We don't get the first three until junior year, and most people can't take them because of scheduling and such.

And what is with this manga/graphic novel thing in libraries? My library has few of the Classics or science (not fiction) novels and P1 computers that are rarely up to running the internet, and they give us comics?
