Should we be teaching practical skills like doing taxes, computer literacy, smart and safe investing, etc. instead of literature, history, etc. in primary/middle school? Things like that could be electives, they aren't learned or retained by people who don't want to learn them independently anyway.

Not teaching history sounds like an awful idea.

This is a pretty antisemitic suggestion if you ask me..

We teach history now and how many people are meaningfully knowledgeable about it? How many people know anything about it other than vague generalities they've heard repeated ad infinitum like MUH GOMMUNISM?

>Doing taxes
Like you need to learn unless you're an accountant.
>Computer literacy
I'm sure most people know how to use a computer effectively by virtue of being born in the 21st century
>Smart and Safe investing
Economics in high school is a thing, you can't expect someone in primary/middle school to have a concept of money.

Already teach tech. High schools require a tech credit.

you live in a shit part of the country

No, we need to make the goyim think History is boring or they'll actually read it and find us out.
>>
They should integrate literature and history within more practical classes.
Finance class? Okay, time to learn finance-related history and literature in between activities.

Are those skills not taught at school in America? Is it like a subsidised government daycare so you can breed fast but don't have to train them in socialisation?

History major here. I trade derivative energy products. I make a shitload of money. You know what they teach at Harvard Business School? History. Case studies of business.

I could have been a math major or an engineer but I have a high IQ and I am personable. I am an "operator" in business and am at the outlier on the curve. When I say I'm "fat tail smart" it doesn't mean I'm like others in the energy business who get lucky with fat girls.

You sound absolutely pretentious, try for a deaf wife.

no. we should add some practical skills, but we should be focusing on (real) history, (useful) philosophy, literature and math.
