I think rather than adding to what we already have, some of the heavy focus that's put on the academics needs to be shifted to other subjects like the arts and music.
Ken Robertson did an amazing talk to the subject which can be viewed here: http://www.ted.com/i...eativity.html
Worth the watch if you have the time. [show less]

This would be a course designed to enhance cyclist-based consciousness of rules of the road. This would also be available to motorists to the end that it would increase knowledge both of what cyclists tend to do and what they SHOULD be doing.

Should be coupled with greater enforcement of traffic infractions for cyclists (such as more failure to yield/stop tickets).

Possible topics in this course:
* Lane observation (includes riding in the proper direction)
* Turning signals
* The stop signs are for everybody
* If you're on top, you're not a pedestrian; if you're next to, you are
* Stopping distances for car vs bicycle (could be bundled with "stop signs are for everybody")
* How to respect pedestrian traffic
* The lack of respect drivers show you is not necessarily your fault, but that of cyclists who disrespect traffic rules [show less]

Information that helps kids understand that they need to know the source of the information they are receiving and take that into account when drawing their own conclusions.

This seems especially necessary with the way the news works today. [show less]

In an ideal world, each 8th grader would matriculate to 9th grade knowing how to get around his or her community on public transportation. As a matriculation gift, each student would get a one year bus pass. That should give them enough freedom and mobility to keep many of them from asking their parents for a car when they are old enough to drive! [show less]

Schools teach children how to obey, how to conform and how to serve. They do not teach freedom of action or freedom of thought. They train children to become obedient drones fit for the corporations to leech their lives and vital juices away, only to discard the husks when they are no longer useful. [show less]

For real. Let's scare kids into not having sex. Let's educate them about kids so they can better decide when they should have kids, and motivate them to do so at the same time.

These reality shows "Nanny 911" and "Super Nanny", they are excellent. They should be required watching for every girl and boy, every man and woman with the capacity to reproduce! [show less]
