10. Along with history, please teach civics too.
I am appalled at how little people know about the government and legislation. I was talking to our State Rep the other day, and he was bemoaning this point. He said he cannot count the number of times people contact him to do something about a bill that is in the federal House or Senate. Our schools are failing us all, but especially the younger people. How long has it been since the subject "civics" was even taught???
