Great topic and agree with Dibbons
Add to list:
History: What history is being taught is rewritten to meet political needs.
We repeat mistakes from past if we don't learn from the past
English Language - This is not longer English being taught in some schools.
English in the traditional sense has been hijacked and relabeled as "White Priviledge" in universities to shame some of us.
BTW, this is not meant as a rant against African Americans but against those who teach or indoctrinate us be ashamed our American heritage. I love America and defend it!
Punctuation - can't take students creativity away
Languages - Learn other languages (German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Latin, etc)
Most other countries are taught English in addition to their language
Spelling - what can I say?
Mathematics/sciences - Dumb down everybody into using calculators.
Now many do not know how to + - x divide.
Math & Sciences are the very base to our passion....automobiles
Now we're behind in maths and sciences while the rest of the world passes us.
Music - is another language like math and English and requires discipline.
Discipline or lack of, follows us through our entire life
We have it too easy and if we were hungry we'd definitely be focusing on these subjects
