I’m 100% for it being taught in school.

What classes are the government both forcing you to take and to pay for?

Nothing now, but you're the one talking about making something mandatory, which would be the government forcing us to do it. And again, it would not be covered in schools, certainly not all schools. People would have to pay for it themselves.

Why wouldn’t it?

We take mandatory classes already.

And anything deemed remotely non-essential is constantly at risk of being cut. I don't know how old you are, but I'm old enough to know that classes which were required for me (woodshop, home ec, typing, music) are largely no longer required, or even available, in most places.

Every single one of those is available here, just with different names now.

My kids even have to take and pass the us citizenship test to pass high school, which I think is just awesome.

Most of the people I know, myself included probably, couldn’t do that and we have voting abilities

Well, kids in your school district are lucky.
