What subjects should or should not be taught in school why or why not?

Different options for after high school should be taught in high school before a student makes a decision. I remember that in my high school we were taught only about how to apply to college and pay for college, but once in college I learned that sometimes traditional college is not for everyone. High schools should teach students that trade schools, or even taking a break and traveling, or working is the right thing to do. Most students don't know what they want or who they are, so how does society expect them to go straight into college after high school? Going into a major you're not sure of can create many problems, like ending up in a career you hate, or changing your major and extending your college career, therefor increasing your college expanses. Student should be taught about all options, regardless of what is usually expected, and they should be taught that each choice is as good as the next.____The question is about subjects, not about attitudes to tertiary education.

Which subject did children learn at school in the 1950's?

" Biology, latin, spanish, english, grammer, algebra, trigonometry, reading, history ( World and United States), geography, music, gym." ( ' Some Major Differences Between High School in the 1950s and Now' by Anali Vargas, p.4) In many schools in the 50s, the boys were taught craft skills like woodshop while the girls were taught home economics. Today, you'll find both genders are taught these subjects but I think in a lot of places ( not neccessarily all) there was a certain concept about what was "essential" for a boy to learn and what was " essential" for a girl to learn. The nature of what was taught in schools in the 1950s ( for instance, the nature of science based subjects), and the *way* that it was taught ( very little kinesthetic learning or media based learning aids), would have been very different from today.
