I often see posts on social media lamenting that schools don't teach kids how to argue, how to keep a checkbook, or how to do basic human life skills.
These posts are inherently wrong and demonstrate a misunderstanding of what IS done and taught in Public Schools.
On this episode, we will look at five common requests people have for things that should be taught- finance, debate, manners/common sense, Religion, and "Civics." We will also talk about how each of these either ARE taught, or cannot be taught because it would be unconstitutional- or just wouldn't make common sense. (See what I did there?)
Oh, and if you want to know what schools are legally required to teach, check the link below.
