    Whoa, whoa, whoa. I have to stop you right there buster. Stonehenge is not “religious nonsense” it is literally a way to keep track of celestial movement and track the solstices. This allowed for ancient peoples to track the change of seasons and properly plan their agricultural activities. It was entirely practical, and very good at its job as it still works today to an extent.









  • I think your arguement is kind of silly. Kid’s schedules are bloated? With what though? Is it actually valuable? Maybe if they’re bloated we should… get rid of the bloat and add in things that would actually help them.

    Also, you aren’t teaching them what will be useful in a home in 30 years. You are teaching them what will be useful NOW. When they go to college, or get an apartment in a few years. If we didn’t teach people things that changed we wouldn’t teach SCIENCE! But we do. Because when you have a baseline and things change you can update what you know over time.

    On top of that, your argument is self defeating. You are similtaneously saying kids are too busy for a class on this stuff but also saying they should just teach it to themselves in their free time. If they’re so busy when do you expect them to do that? The entire point of a class is so that we can MAKE TIME for them to learn this stuff.




  • I genuinely think that you should take a class in highschool that teaches basic life skills like this. 1 class each year. It could cover cooking/nutrition, mental health, chores, financial literacy, First aid basics, etc. Then by the time thye graduate they have had 4 years of teaching about basic stuff like that. I bet it would save tons of lives.
