3 subjects schools should teach to improve the world

Our schools, while they do indeed try, ultimately fail to fully harness the power of today’s young minds because they emphasize routine, discipline and testing over exploration, compassion and innovation.

Another problem today in education is that we simply aren’t teaching kids what they really need to know to be successful in life. While it is important to learn basic math, science, and reading to survive in today’s world, it is also important to teach kids how to thrive.

With some slight adjustments, we could quickly start to improve education by adding a few new subjects aimed at helping kids become healthy and successful adults. By teaching students information that will truly benefit them, we could start to transform education (and the world!) in a positive way. Here are 3 subjects school could teach to improve the world:

1. Meditation: How wonderful would it be if each morning students had 10 minutes of mindful meditation before beginning their school day? They’d start their morning centered and peaceful rather than rushed and scattered. I would imagine this would have tremendous effects on learning gains as well as behavior.

2. Proper Nutrition: No more BS about how fruit cocktail is a “fruit” or how chicken nuggets are a good source of protein. Let’s be serious: 20 years from now, proper nutritional education (or the lack thereof) will have a much more profound impact on the lives of young people than Algebra 2 will.

3. Law of Attraction: If we could teach our young people that anyone can use the Law of Attraction to create a successful career out of their passion, we could improve the world dramatically. New career options would emerge, and innovation would go off the charts. More importantly, people would be happier because they would be doing what they really wanted to do, rather than wasting their lives away doing work that didn’t inspire them.

By teaching kids how to meditate, proper nutrition and the Law of Attraction, we would give students the tools they need to not only be knowledgable, but to flourish. We would improve our nation’s health (both physically and mentally), and our economy would expand as more people would have and create innovative and passionate careers for themselves. With happier, healthier and more prosperous citizens, we’d also very likely reduce violence and crime.
