In unit 2, you read information texts about a number of different topics. Perhaps you were familiar with some of these topics from the subjects that you have studied in school, but perhaps some of them were new to you. 

What is one subject matter or topic that you believe should be taught in schools, but isn't? Why is this topic important?


Read your classmates' responses and ask a question or share your thoughts on their subject choice.

Students in school should learn something about career, students need to explore different jobs and plan what they want to do in the future. That's goo for them when they graduate, teacher should lead them to recognize their own interests and abilities, and understand different career have different paths. Help them learn and grow in a direct way.

I agree with your idea. Having a clear life plan for oneself is very important. Schools need to teach us how to do better.

I believe the psychology class should be taught in schools, maybe some school have this course but most are not. Because many students can't control their emotion or pressure well, this is negative for their social, health and even daliy life. Psychological health is important for student's growth, this is even decided what kind of people they will be.

Sex education must taught in school especially in China. The biology class in public school will not teach much about the sex, student only learn this by themselves and very easy to be corrupted and then causing a lot of unnecessary troubles. The school and parents should cooperate on this for the correct value of kids

I think school should teach more about mental health. Many students feel stress but don’t know how to talk about it. If we learn how to care ourself and others, we will be more happy. This topic is important because mind is just as important like body.

I believe that money is a very important topic that schools should teach but do not. Being able to manage one's own money, learning how to use it reasonably, and having the ability to handle finances is very important. However, most schools do not realize the significance of this ability and merely teach students how to acquire knowledge and pass exams.
