It is criminal that students are sent in to take on five or six-digit student loans with no financial planning being mandatory in their high school curriculum. It is the perfect time to educate young people on the upcoming financial burdens life will throw at them.
I do also believe that Physical Education should not optional in grades 7-12; it should also be mandatory, and this includes not just playing kickball in the school gym, but health and nutrition courses, basic kinesiology, orienteering, and medical training (CPR, making splints, treating wounds, etc.)
