One Size Does Not Fit All...And Never Has

I have never believed in the idea of teaching someone only the least they need to know. I don't think anyone thinks this.

The reason "elective" courses are made available in middle and high schools is so that students can have multiple experiences, and explore new horizons for the future. Had I not taken the optional three semesters of psychology I had been allowed to, I might not be as interested in it today.

One of the basic concepts of our modern society is opportunity and opening new paths to the success of every member of the next generation. Allow students to do whatever they wish, and the future will be FAR more better in every regard.
