Critical thinking, creative problem solving, learning to make do with what you got...home ec classes were belittled in the 70's because of "women's lib" but everyone needs to eat and learn some skills...now we have a couple of generations with people who eat out more than they cook at home and money and health problems as a result. And people like Martha Stewart making big money teaching people how to do those things.
Manners, as the have not been taught or learned yet.
Etiquette, not split classes by sex-one class, both sexes.
Home Economics- as households are not just run by woman anymore. There are a lot of stay at home fathers.
Listening to Understand.
Gifted classes- (all A's)
--- Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people
OR
--- Covey's Seven Habits of highly Successful People for HS.

@JustLikeGreta In my day and time, in Grade school we WERE taught manners. Girls learned to bow and curtsy- as well as the guys. he was shown how to interlock her arm and she was shown how to take his arm. Taking a coat. properly hanging it, (not lopsided do it stretches). getting a chair for another. We DID learn that. Place settings and how to pace the utensils , American and European styles when done eating. How to converse properly.
And we were better off for it!

@JustLikeGreta No . Just a small rural school. (Present day it would be about 8 miles from the Flight 93 crash site) So Somerset County.
At home I learned no manners. it was my grandmother's house and she was born, poor in 1898. And she died poor. When she was 5, in 1903 she was assisting running a farm with her chores. no time for manners- and so she never passed them off to her children. School taught me. And I have those two books. And the 1912 Emily Post book "Etiquette , as well. But I also have two other newer editions.

English, History and Civics were part of the basic cirriculum.

@JustLikeGreta What kind of english, history and civics? How to become a Marxist radical in one semester? History of the evil white male christian and how he destroyed the world? How to become a race baiting community organizer? How to build a nation by accumulating debt? Yes an upside down world.
