A high-school level chemistry textbook
An Anglo-American literature anthology (assuming this is for American schools)

For students an anthology of texts might be better. They should become familiar with many writers. They might grab the books later if they want to.

So they can think logically and not just believe every discussion is a 'debate' and 'matter of opinion' that they can argue from two sides equally.

>>18530711
Physics at a high-school level is still connected to a person's daily experiences, and learning it then would help develop a person's physical intuition and conceptual understanding of the world. It would also help remove some of the mystique around technology people interact with, as the mechanics of what's going on would be more understandable.

Chemistry is probably the most removed from a person's life out of the sciences, but I include it here because it gives additional understanding of the world and the physical processes within it. Once again, it would help people gain a rudimentary grasp on the technology which runs their world, preventing it from all seeming like magic.

Biology is far and away the most important science for a regular person to have some grasp on. From understanding their bodies to understanding why mass vaccination is important, a knowledge of biology is bound to be of use. Moreover, we are going to have issues of ethics such as cloning, abortion, gene-editing, perhaps even artificial wombs or the like. In democratic societies, the people must have a grasp of the scientific basis of these ethical dilemmas in order to make the choice in the voting booth which truly represents what they think is best for society.

>>18530760
>to understanding why mass vaccination is important,
I like how you tried to slip that in their Goldstein. I’m not taking your globohomo vaccine and giving myself cancer to protect your 88 year old grandma. Die mad about it.

>>18530773

>>18530760
Maybe we could replace that biology class with an ethics class. Most students dont leave high school with anything more than "mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell" anyway

>>18530771
>trust the experts goyim!!
>vaccine developed and “tested” in 1/20th the time of all other conventionally developed vaccines to date

>>18530783
Honestly, if I was going to replace something it would be chemistry in favor of computer science. I do think an ethics class would be good though

>>18530787
You certainly cant expect students take facts about biology and be able to input them into ethical systems without knowing ethics. Thats the main reason I think we should prioritize the humanities over science. Science is exceedingly efficient for describing the physical world, but on its own grants no conclusions about what had ought be done or how to live.

>>18530797
>Science is exceedingly efficient for describing the physical world, but on its own grants no conclusions about what had ought be done or how to live.

>You are either on the side of education
Either you are homeschooling/unschooling, or you are outsourcing child's raising to Big Brother.
And that means, that the child is Big Brother's. Not yours.

"That his father and mother produced his body through mutual desire he should regard as his mere coming into existence ... but the birth that a teacher ... produces for him ... is real free from old age and free from death." (c) Laws of Manu

>>18530522
1. The Federalist Papers, or perhaps a good companion with excerpts (would improve political discourse by a million percent)
2. A current textbook on world religions (would help solve religious illiteracy). Anything that is secular and doesn't promote perennialism would work.
3. A good textbook on logic which deals with things like validity and soundness, parsimony, explanatory power, etc. (would obviously help with critical thinking)
4. A good textbook on epistemology which isn't biased toward evidentialism or foundationalism (would get students to think about how they know the things they think they know, and hopefully to avoid presupposing whatever naive epistemological stance they currently hold)
5. A textbook on race, gender, sexuality and class issues. (Would be great reading by itself, but combined with the above would be of incalculable benefit).

Just this little would benefit students much more than analyzing the themes and symbolism in Lord of the Flies.

>>18533082
You are completely contradicting what you said earlier with the anti-authoritarian rhetoric you are now employing. Do you think Hitler would let you homeschool your kids at home and be content with your description of his educational system as "Big Brother"? All I can gouge from your post is that you seem to be suffering from ideological schizophrenia.
The question is not who gets to indoctrinate, but a question of whether the schools provide indoctrination (like what you suggested earlier with your recommendation of mein kampf into the school curriculum) or actual education and the advance of learning. And it goes without saying that serious Classical Learning cannot be provided by homeschooling.

Given that student hardly ever read the books these days really its got to be either very engaging or at least bring up decent class conversation. I'd roughly guess we are working with 1/4 having read the book, 1/2 spark noting it, 1/4 coming completely unprepared. Honestly the school board has done not completely shit with their selections, besides a few terrible takes for high school students.

uhh my list might look something like this:
1. With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge
2. 1984 (I know hopefully the teacher isnt complete shit)
3. Slaughterhouse-five by Kurt Vonnegut
4. Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein
5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Seems a bit too focused on fascism and not enough on fun yet educating books. 5 is really limiting. At least the class won't be wasting their time on Gothic classics, god forsaken written plays instead of watching them, Death of a Salesman and other neo Marxist lit, or 2nd wave feminist lit like The Awakening. And lets all be honest with ourselves books like the Scarlet Letter and The Crucible are reading exercises at best.

2. Some college level book historical-critical analysis on the most popular religions
3. Some college level sociology textbook that covers a wide range of topics from economics, politics, moral psychology, religion, environmental impact, class, gender, race etc
4. Some textbook that explains how to approach things with a critical mind from: reading a book, reading the news, learning a new topic, etc.
5. Some math-science hybrid that gives everyone some STEM foundation

Personally in going with:
>How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler
It is extremely necessary for everyone to read this book, not only to learn how to properly critique a book, but to know how to cast judgment objectively. Too many people base their existence only on feelings without knowing why they feel that or why they don't like feeling that.
>Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Hopefully, it will instill patience in these man-children that life won't go their way and not everything is nice. But withstand it and show courage in yourself to avoid feeling bad, rather than to legislate laws around your feelings
>Anything pessimistic or nihilistic, probably by Arthur Schopenhauer or E.M. Cioran
It is necessary to teach these man-children their pointlessness and best them down from their happiness. Happiness stupifies them into an image of grandeur "nobleness". It is a necessity to nip that in the bud than let it fester and think they're fighting a " righteous cause" or something.
>The Stranger by Albert Camus

This is pretty much all nonsense, and I studied biochemistry in college. Am I smarter because I can do some useless physics refraction problems or obscure organic chemistry reactions? No, if anything it made me more stupid because I was forced to study so much useless esoteric garbage instead of more relevant things.

Give high school kids a semester of general chemistry, an introduction to biology so they know what a cell is, and a primer on physics so they can see how gravity works and move on. 90% or more of people will never use anything more advanced anyway. Hell I work in a lab and basically never use physics. It’s all basic chemistry and some molecular biology knowledge.

The retroactive universalization of these works to the new multi-racial paradigm is a complete farce.
