Learn in school ~j

What do you think is the most important thing for today's kids to learn in school?

I'm definitely not an expert in the subject but it seems to me kids need to learn the basics --reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, math.  Without these basic skills how are they to accomplish the things that they need to do?  How do you write a resume and cover letter when your writing skills aren't honed?  I think we need more art, music and physical education.  

This question came from http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.ca/2014/01/todays-writing-prompt-education.html


January 7th was another very cold day.  People were using words like "polar vortex" to describe the weather.  We were nice and warm playing board games for money . . . the money went into our Relay for Life team's fund.
