Nonsense

none of these are specifics, they're topics. but I didn't ask for that anyway. i said what's supposed to specifically replace the 50 capitals. none of these qualify. also "I wish this was taught" isn't really an argument for something else not to be taught. why not replace something else? what is going to determine the cut?

most of this list is about how things should be taught, by the way. I agree that learning problem solving skills, curiosity and thirst for knowledge and know-how to obtain knowledge is better than learning facts. this doesn't explain the disdain for basic knowledge about your country, the solar system or the fucking multiplication table.
