    Logic. Fundamental rules of basic logic.

    Better yet, let's teach it in elementary schools.

    If it's common sense, then why does it need to be taught?

    I believe that Meditation and mindfulness practices should be in high school, and mandatory. Since i have started, i believe my school life would have been a lot easier to cope with. Its as mandatory as sleep! I couldn't dream of a life without meditation, and i hope it becomes more popular in my society .

    Personal finance. Most people finish school and have no idea how to budget, how credit works or all the purposes of a bank or credit union. They should learn this at home but don't. It won't really cost the schools anything and doesn't question anyone's morals or religion.

    A scientific theory is a fact. You probably get that, just noting it for anyone else out there who comes across this. A scientific hypothesis is what we colloquially call a theory.
