For most kids, school is the main source of education and information. As important as math and science are, there’s more to life than them. Schools should also teach kids about life, surviving, character building, have motivation, and even be motivational. Schools should basically teach kids how to be human. My optimism makes me believe in the next generation; I believe they could change our society. If schools taught kids these skills, they’ll be unstoppable.

Here are some of the subjects I wish kids could learn in schools:

1-Personal Development Subject:
Chapters:
-Time management
-Embracing change

3-Meditation Practice:

 

Imagine if kids could meditate for a few minutes every morning before the school day? Having a peaceful morning rather than a rushed and stressful morning would definitely make a difference.

If this happens, it 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.
