the following was included on the daily schedual in high school;

* How to interact with people you've never seen before
* How to generally behave to attract girls
* Extroverts and introverts
* Etc

You get where I'm going.

A lot of people struggle with topics like this throughout their hole life. Some people are lucky to find paths that enlighten them, while some people continiue to wiev themselves as 'socially ******ed', when that isn't the case.

A lot of men never become successful with women because they never understand female wants and needs.

I've done some research lately in subjects touching these topics, and My Life and wiev on the future Has Improved BIG Time.

I'm confused, when you say "hole life" are you referring to the various holes in our own bodies or in a a woman's body? Are these holes something they talk about in these high school scheduals? Will my view of these holes improve if I weiv them backwards?

Follow up question --

What would the world look like if high schools taught grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization rules? Would internet forums have more readable posts? Would people be able to communicate better?

move up to where they respect your grammar.

I'm from Sweden, and I think that my English is good considering that I never speak it (except here).
And no, I don't read it on daily bases at high school, I graduated 3 years ago.

Very good, but I think there are better topics.

* Empathy
* Manners
* Teamwork (although this is done to a degree already)
* Dealing with stress
* Respect for the community
* etc.

Empathy is an interesting one. The most literal meaning of it, like Deanna Troi (or more like Famke Jansen's character in the ST:TNG episode "The Gift") tends to occur most prevalently in abuse victims. It's game-related and really not required for healthy interaction.

Did you know the hole's only natural enemy is the pile?

Vraket,

Can you share what you studied? Maybe give us the sources, and tell us what you learned. Then maybe we can give you a better answer.

High Schools and teachers are now revolutionizing the way things are taught and learned.

That being said, I believe any competent, caring teacher can certainly teach people how to "interact with people, the opposite sex, and find a niche socially." In this respect, teachers have been modeling behavior for years as kids often spend more time with teachers as they do with their own parents. I know that I was always introverted in high school but my education and interaction with people like my old baskeball coach helped me to build a foundation on which I can now interact more socially than I would had I never stepped inside of a school.



While teachers have often modeled behavior for young adults for a long time, it has never been taught in the same way teachers have taught, say variables, or George Washington. The topics you discuss could easily be covered in sex education, but it has not been for one reason or another.

Your point is that schools do not address the issues you bring up directly enough and I would agree.

Fast forward to the present day.

People learn in many different ways and teachers are taught this. Some people learn through talking to others and listening to what they say, others learn through looking at certain objects and seeing the ways they fit in with a larger picture, others learn through playing basketball and actually seeing how things are done, etc. This is the theory of multiple intelligences. Nowadays, teachers can allow students to interact socially in order to teach them a poem.

For example, in my classes we read a story called "The Story of Our Lives" and it was about two people who basically just lived their lives and read about their own life as it was happening as it was being written in a book. So, one activity in class was to allow the students to get up and interact with one another for 15 minutes and then write down everything that happened. We then took what was written and compared it to the lives of the people in the poem. Teachers can do many activities such as this and any good teacher will think of the infinite ways in which people learn, and consider this before you would ever lecture to them about the theme of fate in Julius Caeser. This includes the ways in which people act socially in our society.

This is so simple and awesome and I hope more teachers are finding ways to implement these kinds of things in their classrooms.

I think David would agree with me that this would be a more interesting question: What if public school systems raised their standards for mathematics and were able to teach the majority of students up to say, integral calculus?

I believe this would make for a better society. The average person you met on the street or drived along next to in traffic wouldnt be such a complete f-ing idiot. Elections and lawmaking and every other aspect of a society would be improved drastically once you get rid of all the artsy English hippies that dont know jacksh.it about logic.

Originally David DeAngelos work on how to become more successful with women, but since the topic touches and involves a lot of subtopics, like inner game (self confidence and stuff), charisma etc etc, I've dug (Is dug ok for all you hobby teachers out there?) in a few of them as well.


This made me realize a lot about myself and others, without having to put too much effort in it to see a positive result.

Hence this thread, since a lot of people who never get to know this information, would live a happier life if they did.
