When I think “It would be nice if governments could even try to prepare for the future”…
This is not what I meant.
Whole stupid article uses American school grades instead of ages, I assume this is for 12? 14? to 18 year olds?
Ah thanks. Wont waste my time lol.
fun fact: “infantry” comes from “enfant” which is french for “child”
That’s hardly fun at all!
i know, i thought this one wouldn’t need a /s
This is actually a smart thing to do and we should all be doing it (not you US, sit the fuck down). When I was in high school in Poland, we had territorial defense classes, where we learned first aid, use of personal protection like gas masks, emergency water treatment, signalling etc… Mind you, it was early aughts and nobody thought we’re at any risk of a war breaking out. My parents had the same classes plus shooting training, all as part of general education! Now I live in northern Finland and I have kids that age; nobody teaches them anything remotely related to defense. First aid classes have no practical training. Boys will at least probably learn that when they’re drafted, but girls? Completely defenseless. It’s so short-sighted it hurts.
I am not sure why someone down voted you. Those are just good life skills all citizens should have. I grew up in Western North Carolina and we had mandatory wildlife classes taught buy a forest ranger. It went over many of the same things including firearm safety. They took it out of schools. Now if parents want their children to have that class they must find a local class being taught and enroll the child. The Boy and Girl Scouts use to teach a lot of the same skills but I don’t see kids joining those. Parents seem to think the sports path and that grift is where their child will learn life skills.
