Diversity Makes Greatness
Every American School Should Teach This:
There are three huge choices that every person faces in life early on which drastically affect the rest of your life.
Any education system worth it's name should absolutely make students aware of these three choices they will have to make, and how important these three choices are, because they will determine the quality of the rest of their lives.
1. Formal education/career choice. What will be your job, and what, if anything, will you have to do to prepare for it? Can you go right into it or do you need extensive education in order to qualify.
2. Will you have children, and if so, when will you begin and how many children will you have.
3. Will you marry, and if so, who will you marry.
These three big choices have the most bearing on the outcome of your life.
Notice that having children comes before marrying. I placed them in that order because many people have children too soon in life, and it affects the rest of their life after that. One would hope that people would marry before having children, but that is not always the case, and for those who have children young, it changes the course of their lives drastically. Especially those people who have children before they even complete their education.
An education system is charged with teaching young people what they need to know in order to be hopefully good adults in the USA. Since these three big early choices in life have the most impact on the rest of their lives, young people should be made aware of these three choices they will face as soon as they become aware of their surroundings and position in society, usually around the age of 12. From then on, they need to understand that these choices are coming, and should not be taken lightly at all.
The biggest way that people ruin their lives is by having children too soon. I would rank that one as the single most important choice, although the education and career path choice is almost equally a determining factor in the quality of life.
If a school system teaches nothing else, it should at least impress upon every young mind the gravity of these 3 choices in life. It should make absolutely sure that every student at least gets these three things.
