Things they should teach you in school

[Mister Cheese]

Post what you think should be taught in private/public school. I guess homeschooling can count too.

I think it'd be cool if there was an optional class you could take where you could learn basics of Old or Middle Age English. It sounds pretty interesting even if nobody uses those sorts of languages anymore. Maybe Anglic too, I don't know.

More about social graces, cursive and script writing, and formal ways to dress. Now in most school districts, cursive and script are no longer part of the curriculum.

I really wish they taught foreign languages in school. It's kinda stupid how you have to go to a specialized school for that country or take the course online.

I'm sure lot's of business resumes love to have "becuz im god at werking11!!11"
Most formal letter's should at least have proper grammar. Or at least Cursive writing.
That's what I was taught.
