What is the most important subject taught in school?

[Mrs Behavin]

When we consider every subject taught in school (both academic and athletic), which one in particular rises above the rest? Which subject is the most vital for shaping a desirable future for students?

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

I have always thought a good balance of the big ones, reading, writing and arithmetic.

Then of course fine arts (instruments, art etc.)

Then sport's for teamwork building.

Just my opinion. Well rounded schooling builds well rounded young minds. To me at least.

Reading is most important. If you can't read it is going to make it very difficult to learn any other subject.

English, at least for me it was. Many profoundly deaf like me have poor reading and writing skills in english because we tend to think in sign language. The school I went to stressed learning english and so did my parents so I was lucky.

I would say English, Its definatley a mixture of alot of things and teaches the most basic things right through to the most complicated

I chose other, because Alchemy was not listed. And how do you expect ANYONE to beat a level 10 fire Daedra without it? Hmmm?

 

[Peter Parka]

Got to go with English here!

 

[Mase]

English and Reading, IMO

 

[SRC]

They are all important. You didn't specify which age level or grade level tho.

Each of those subjects hold a different type of importance at different age/grade levels.

oh and .. by English .. I'm betting she means grammar not the language itself .

Amulet of Axes, Mace of Balrog, mad heavy armor, summoned Imp, and I forget what the name is, but my 33% reflect damage shield. ... Errr.. :smiley24:

English and reading are equally the most important, in my opinion.

I think if there's no balance, or if one is pushed harder that the others, we get into a situation like we're in now with all of the standardized testing: A bunch of blithering idiots that can fill in a bubble, but can't really think for themselves.

[Jersey]

I went with English... meaning Language Arts

 

[GraceAbounds]

If you can't read you won't be able to learn the language arts.
