Classes that I (personally) believe should be required in high school:
- nutrition and exercise science so you know how to take care of your body
- metal, wood, and car shop to learn basic home and vehicle repairs

- practical finances, budgeting, and investing because i have known multiple adults who had a lot of credit card debt because they thought credit cards were free money they didn’t have to pay off. (I’m talking debt from shopping. Not college, home, or vehicle buying.)

- home ec because a lot of people don’t know how to cook, clean, or take care of other beings
- first aid and CPR for obvious reasons
- an actual comprehensive sex ed that includes safe sex, pregnancy, STIs, and LGBT
- survival skills
- mental health/stress management

Rather than teaching the same math, science, English senior year make it a transition year to prepare them for life after high school. Whether that’s the trades, entrepreneurship, college/university, the military, or just working.

High schoolers need a stronger foundation for adulthood. There are a lot of different paths to take after high school. Not just college. And it’s wrong to assume that everyone has a healthy home life where parents are preparing them.
