In that order.

They should teach;

"Just say no."

"Trickle down economics."

"Good values. - like how to GET that A."

and;

"Ethics..."

Maybe a nice section on HUMOR?

Love them Dilbert comics.

Public schools these days do not teach meaning, only easy-to-test facts. Yes, Colombus sailed to the New World in 1492, but why? How did that affect history from that point on? History is one of my favorite subjects, because it really does repeat itself. Almost everything that happens has a corollary in the past. History is probably our most important subject. Meaning is the root of critical thinking, because instead of useless facts, you learn there is a reason for things to be as they are. Meaningless facts only teaches us to regurgitate dates, names and places, but not why they are important and in what context things happen in.

Have you heard of the Hispanic Heritage Scholarship?

I think you mean "racist." Unless you think these scholarships are tawdry and sexually suggestive. ;)

How about non racist scholarships? They were good in the 1970s when it was hard for minority races in the U.S. to get scholarships, but now it's just racist. ALL RACES OF STUDENTS need scholarships.

I have (had, maybe??) a really old Audel book on refrigeration, and it is extremely well written and illustrated. The drawings in it look comical, though by today's standards

I remember, "Respect my authority!", well.

Although, there were no "rulers" to back anything up.
