hmm, I'd disagree with the limited math: Math is and always will be necessary, in every job. Shure, people can use timepeices and calculators as a crutch, but those are never as fast as somebody who memorised their tables and ratios. Exponents and variables are Integral parts of a decent math system. Algebra should be a requirement too.

I dont think religion should be taught untill later in life, if at all. Morals do not require religion to exist. As for trades workers, yes theat should be taught from an early age as well. Muchof what I know of science comes from learning trades(like why you don't want a steel gas line and a copper water line touching, how gravity works with fluids, how much more force/inertia an extra 10lbs of hammer adds, etc...) It is also shocks me when I walk into some manufacturing plants: almost everyone is 40-60, and all of them talk about retireing. Meanwhile call centers are full of people my age looking for a higher paying job, it's rediculous.
