Well, let's see. The first thing you need to teach children is the basics of reading and writing. If a child can read, he can learn everything he really needs or wants to know. There is nothing more important than reading and writing. Spelling goes in there also, because if you spell poorly (as I do) people will automatically assume that you aren't very intelligent. The next most important thing you can teach kids is how to do basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in their heads. I can't tell you how often I've run across store clerks who couldn't make change in their heads -- they had to use the registers. That's just pathetic. After these subjects of primary value, we get to the next level. History. Very few people realize how important an understanding of history is in order to be able to understand what is taking place today, or what will happen in the future. History is a vital topic. Somewhat less important, but still very important, is geography. Children need to know the various states, the important cities, the countries of the world, the major rivers and other geographical features. Next I would put philosophy as an important subject to study. Philosophy teaches children how to think. They need to be taught the history of philosophy, and be introduced to the great philosophical systems of the ancient Greeks. Greece really is the cradle of Western civilization. In past centuries the English had almost a religious reverence for ancient Greece, and it was not misplaced. When retarded, brainwashed niggers call Greek philosophy "racist" it makes me want to kill. Greek philosophy is the foundation upon which we are all standing today. After these subjects, I'd get into rhetoric, literature, economics, logic, geometry, the fine arts. A foreign language is always a useful skill to acquire. Latin is the best language you can learn. Then send the little tykes out into the world, and they will own it.
