<p>Should public schools be encouraged to provide classes that teach about the latest research on happiness?</p>
<p>Well, I remember learning a bit about it in Psychology in High school. I think a class on this would be a fun elective, but it’s not so important we should be encouraging it. You know what is important for public schools to do?</p>
<p>Teaching basic geography and basic spelling/grammar. An unbelievable percentage of Americans can’t point to the U.S.A on a map, and a lot of college students don’t know the difference between you’re/your and they’re/their/there, or that “alot” isn’t a word. Students are also pretty ignorant on Sex Ed and Health in general. I remember reading an article that showed how ignorant high school students are on sex issues (many thought you can’t get pregnant if you have sex underwater or on land in certain positions, etc). As for Health, people need to be introduced to a food pyramid; no, ketchup isn’t a vegetable. Yes, drinking soda five times a day is bad for you. You wouldn’t believe how stupid some kids are. We should be encouraging public schools to teach these basic things first!</p>

<p>And like children don’t have maps in the Iraq like such as.</p>
<p>I always try to find the county called “Middle East” on the map but I can’t find it!!! Help please!!! I hear about this distant land on TV all the time but I never see it on a globe or map…are people making it up or what?!</p>
<p>I love public education.</p>
<p>No they should not.</p>
<p>75% of American teenagers cannot find the USA on a map of the USA.</p>
<p>The other 25% can’t find the map.</p>
<p>Happiness in high school would be like teaching racial equality at a KKK rally.</p>
<p>i don’t understand what such a class would entail</p>
<p>For most kids, happiness involves lighting up a blunt, getting s***faced off crappy beer, and fornicating.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Eh, most people at KKK rallies are of congruent race.</p>
