Courses like History,Literature, social studies, philosophy, Art, music, p.e., etc basically anything not related to math or science or tech should be temporarily taken out of schools. Studying shakespeare and poetry may be fun(not to me though), but it isn't very practical. If social studies is so great why do only 50% of people vote?

I do believe HS students should have to take a summer internship not in the service industry or volunteer experience in order to graduate. That way have better understanding of the world of work and maybe more able to select what they may be more interested in pursuing.

The science is intelligence and Art is Wisdom. Then how can you leave aside history philosophy, Literature aside and get along with only science. Science is Conscious and Art is subconscious mind.
These are complex things. You should do what your parents guide you

Yes, thats a fantastic idea. i am taking engineering classes and i know i qill be able to get a job one day. history, english, political science, art, music, etc. are interesting to study but they are not pratical to major in. people that have those interests should just study and research that type of thing on their own anf major in something useful like engineering, nursing, law, etc.
