That Columbus discovered America because, well… he didn’t.
Now it is taught that he started the Colombian Exchange which led to the Europeans colonizing the Americas and the beginning of the Age of European colonization worldwide.
Also that he was an a-hole

Most of them are caused by the people you vote for.

I know they are taught these things in 3rd and 4th grade in Cy Fair ISD. My daughter has taught both these grades recently and taught these items.

I’m pretty sure that’s still taught.
2.Cursive.
Lol nobody writes anymore, much less in cursive. Typing is still taught in schools
3.How to read a clock with hour and minute hands.
Unnecessary
4.How to balance a check book.
Do you not have a banking app grandpa?
5.Driver's ed.
True
6. Long division.
Really?
7.Multiplying/dividing fractions.
Really?
8.Legit History.
You mean white-glorifying Eurocentric history?

I feel like respect is still given to those who earn it.
10. The Ten Commandments.
Church and state

1. Senior boys do not know how to tie a real tie. It amazed me when I taught at a Catholic high school in Nola and the first mass of the year I had to teach the class how to do it.
2. How to buy anything expensive like a house/car (how general financing works)
3. How to keep a check book
4. A general basis for how the economy works
5. How to navigate the college system: talking to counselors, registering for classes, financial aid, etc.

My wife’s 2020 Lexus has a analog clock. My 3 month old kitchen range has a analog clock and timer display. Lots of instrumentation still use analog displays because it is easier to glance at the relative position of “hands” than a digital display and ting to remember what it indicated 10 minutes ago.

Latin
I have an old annual of my Grandmother's from the 1920s where she was President of the Latin Club. This was a rural public school in Kentucky in the freaking 1920s. There is 1 public school in my part of the state that offers Latin.

Cursive needs to be practiced in my opinion. If you go around not writing in cursive you'll look uneducated. I've worked on my signature many times, many times in class.

These are all taught in public elementary schools here in Kentucky.

5.Driver's ed.
We have a financial literacy class that’s an elective. Same with lifeskills. Problem is most parents want their kids taking a study skills or an ACT prep class instead.
My high school offers drivers ed but it’s after school. For what it’s worth, it was after school when I was in HS in the late 90s as well.

8.Legit History.
All still taught on multiple levels. “Legit history” depends on your definition. I learned a lot more history outside of HS in 16 week courses that were geared towards more specific time periods/events that K-12 really doesn’t have the time to cover in detail.

9.Respect/ the Golden Rule.
Sure. But it’s not going to stick if it’s not taught at home.

Not in public school. But it’s been that way for a few decades now. Nothing is stopping anyone from taking their kids to church and Sunday school to learn that lesson.

My district in NY had a very specific curriculum for kids not on a college path. They spent 1/2 the day in traditional classes then get bused to a trade school learning welding, crane operating, truck driving, and plumbing amongst other things. We really have focused too much on high school being a pipeline for college.
We have several magnet programs across the district that have been established for a decade or more that teaches trades.
The problem here hasn’t been the program itself. It’s been parents acknowledging their little special snowflake can be a functional human being in society working a trade and not going to college.
Parents push that college pipeline as hard as anyone.

I am sure this is taught in Catholic (and other Christian religions) school. But why should a public school teach this? That should be on the parents.

I get what you are saying, but you teach this to a kid and they might take it too literal.
