I think it would be interesting to have a type of basic philosophy/seminar class. Less of a class where you study to pass a test but one in which students discuss any and all ideas and learn to think critically. It could even have some kind of formal debate every other week. I think it would get students interested in learning and discussing ideas. Also, it would teach kids to start questioning each other. Instead of accepting a dogma, they would actually have to discuss, do research, and think for themselves.
