School of hard knocks

A recent post elsewhere made me recollect my internal (self) discussion about education.

We might as well all just learn the 4 basics (Maths, Language, Art and Science), and there should also be intermediate - advanced Maths, Language, Arts and Science for people who want to take them, as well as other subjects, such as Humanities and even *gasp* Politics and Religion.

Add a new*compulsary* subject called: "You, and others"

This subject consists of modules such as:

"Who am I" -> teaches people how to find their personal resources (quirks, strengths, weakness, passion, etc.)
"Confidence, it is in you" -> teaches people to be more daring in taking risks.
"Decision making" -> teaches people how to manage that risk.
"The philosophers stone" -> teaches people how to find information they need.
"School of wizardry" -> teaches people how to gain knowlege and skill by themselves, and how to retain as well as use them.
"How about lunch?" -> teaches people how to obtain, and maintain good relations.
"吃驚(びっくり) Bikkuri - Be Creative" -> teaches people to activate their brain.
"No Problem" -> teaches people problem solving methods (even unothrodox ones).
"See no evil" -> teaches people to be more observant.
"Hear no evil" -> teaches people to be more attentive.
"Speak no evil" -> teaches people how to be more eloquent.
"Survival in the wild" -> teaches people how to survive in a wild environment. (Test will be 1 month living in a jungle or something)
"Men are from mars..." -> name explains itself

Plus others, and most importantly:

"Garbage in, garbage out" -> teaches people the importance of asking the right questions.

*lol* What a perspicacity!

I like especially this "Survivor in the wild" subject. I guess it will incorporate natural selection theorem as well, huh? Those who pass the test, live. Those who don't, they'll live in memory. ;p

Shakespeare: That's why it is extra credit.

A_x: At least it is better than "Intelligent Design" :P

And here I thought there would be people contributing to the modules.
