Adding in a mental health system, an emotional kind of education, social education, physical exercise and self defence. You also allow people to kind of explore different potential fields so they don’t waste heaps of money on unwanted university courses.
So I would propose a 3 period kind of day, where:
The 1) first period is spent more by themselves working on an education program that is basically a game, it plays on their psychology to help them want to learn and will make sure they can remember it through constant revisions. This program would consist of levels with various subjects within each level, once you complete each level you get some Learning Points, you would also have random levels that include special courses like memory techniques and how to make memory palaces, you might learn some forensics, e.t.c., there would also be no homework. There program would be similar to duolingo maybe, but you will advance through levels and have to take revision kind of quizzes on the program every so often. There would be no exams, there may be assignments but it wouldn’t be so scrutinised.
The 2) second period would focus on them all coming together and learning about emotions, social etiquette, respect, how to control your anger, it would go through healthy habits and dealing with mental health, it’s main purpose would be to create healthier minded people that are more capable of understanding and control their impulses, it would aim to reduce risk factors for mental health and aim to increase the ability to help themselves, to help others and to reach out, this could help tremendously in reducing the societal side effects like suicide rates, and crime rates, imagine a world where John doesn’t get so angry and loses control, where he doesn’t end up a murderer, although it would be more of a likelihood most people are messed up by their childhood and if you can give them the help and support they need then and the resources and knowledge to continue on like that, long term meditators can basically control their emotions, imagine if that wasn’t such a rare skill but it was a normal everyday skill that people had, this session would also give a basic self defence course and physical education. It would also aim to reduce bullying.
The 3) third period would be more of an elective, as in this is where students could spend their LP (learning points) on, and it would be things like more self defence, football, game making, science practicals, art, drama, more hands on experiences than the first period, of students didn’t have any LP they would simply have a repeat of the first period.
The first few years the first session would be more open, but it would start to increase the isolation to ensure productivity.
