re: Why don't High Schools have classes regarding the legal & financial impact of marriage ?

Elementary school would be much like it is now, but after about sixth grade most academic classes should be online and students should transition to self-learning at their own pace. They don't want to move forward and learn, fine, that's their business and their responsibility. They could return to school any time they wanted. Like the lessons themselves, all tests would be standardized so as to eliminate bias or accusations of favoritism or "inferior schools." Tutors could be available to help students who were stuck on something, and they could also teach the labs for the subjects in which a laboratory environment would be necessary to complete a course. Other than labs or tutoring, which could be done in one building on a campus that would need several under the current system, students just go to school online. Even with providing a student with a new laptop every 3-4 years and internet access, it would still be MUCH cheaper. It would be more like a public library where the government was making the information available and the citizenry was choosing to avail themselves of it (or not).

this is fricking retarded

The same as with any other class.
There would be teachers educated on the subject, the same way that they have teachers educated in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics.

You are wasting your time. Once they start making moronic arguments, that they know are stupid, they will never quit.

then teach them

---

They can’t because the graduation twerkers are disruptive and the teacher can’t kick them out of class

Your dad sat you down and taught you the legal and financial impact of divorce? How old were you when you guys had that talk?

---

As I got older and went through high school we talked about marriage and what to look for in a wife. We talked about why my parents marriage worked and talked about how working at it is required if you want it to last.

No we never talked about the legal and financial impacts of divorce but we talked about what it takes to make a good marriage.

If more people sat raised their sons and daughters to be good, selfless people and had these types of conversations the financial and legal impact of divorce wouldn’t be a topic that was needed to be explicitly covered as a financial transaction in school.

quote: Women are incentivized to leave marriages by the court. They get the kids and a monthly check. I was waiting for this And it’s not true Which is why it shouldn’t be taught because there is no consistency to what is done in divorce court

Women get custody around 80-90% of the time. The statistics on single dads raising kids are similar to a 2 parent homes. The statistics are not as good for single moms. I’d say more boys should definitely be with their dads as far as custody. That’s just one stat. Alimony should be eliminated. Child support is no problem.

No, it's really not.

College is basically a choice now. You can get an entire degree online. If you can do that at the college level, why not at the high school, junior high level.

That plan would be WAY cheaper, would eliminate disparities among school districts, would standardize the entire system, would make it much easier for people to go back to school to get their diplomas, would stop schools from basically being welfare distribution centers and indoctrination centers for woke ideology, it would stop students whose parents don't care about them learning from being disruptive and keeping other students from learning, and most importantly, it would return freedom and responsibility to the citizen.

Have you ever stopped ponder how it is even Constitutional for the state to mandate that your child report to a central location for eight hours a day, five days a week, 10 months a year for 13 years? It's involuntary conscription.

Probably not. Because IME the people who object to such a plan are either:

1. Teachers
2. Parents who don't want to give up the "free babysitting"
3. Or just dullards who can't imagine doing something different than what has always been done

You might be the second. You're definitely the third.

What's your plan to make that happen?

Talk to my kids about it and show them what a functional marriage looks like by living it.

It’s a parent’s responsibility to educate their children, not the state’s. I feel the same about taxes, politics, government, math, and science.

It’s why I’m so involved in my kids lives education and school work. It’s why I never shy away from speaking facts about political races, government structures, and individual responsibilities.

Stop expecting school to teach kids everything

Took a “law” class elective in HS. We did do some useless stuff like a mock trial but also covered lease agreements, credit cards and other contracts which was useful.

3 easy things you can do that will guarantee that you aren't poor in America-

1) graduate High School

2) no children until you are married

3) do not get married until 21
