They should also get kids into apprenticeships where they can actually learn how to do something. 90% of the shit they teach is utterly useless - What good is memorizing Shakespeare when you can't balance a checkbook? They need to learn real life skills that will prepare them for something more than winning trivia contests or flipping burgers.

what good is balancing a check book if you don't know how to appreciate the finer things in life?
I agree that schools should put time aside to learn some functional tools that will be used later in life, i still use skills learned in shop classes and home ec to this day. But if you negate the arts or anything else that abandons our own cultures and history then you are doing nothing but building drone factories...
better credit scores doesn't make up for that sorry...
