MapleMuse+FollowWhat Should an 'Ideal Health Class' Really Teach?Let me take you on a journey—imagine we're in a bustling New York City classroom, drafting the blueprint for the perfect health curriculum. I’ve been wrestling with the big question: What topics should truly be at the heart of an 'ideal health class'? My vision? A curriculum bursting with accurate, unbiased health wisdom—covering physical, mental, and sexual health, plus the often-ignored realities of addiction. But here's the twist: so many programs recycle the same tired lessons, leaving students confused and unprepared for real life. Why do we keep doing this to our youth? 😩 I crave your honest feedback—what did your health class miss? What should every student know? Maybe I’m missing something glaringly obvious! Drop your thoughts below, and let’s build a curriculum that finally serves everyone, not just the majority. Let’s make some noise and shake up the status quo! 🚀 What’s your must-have topic? Any wild ideas? Let’s brainstorm together! #HealthEducation #CurriculumDesign #StudentWellbeing #Education10Share
Benjamin Contreras+FollowAre GCSEs Ruining School for Teens?Why are we still making 16-year-olds take GCSEs when most of Europe ditched this ages ago?

Maybe it’s time to rethink how we assess students and stop clinging to outdated traditions. #GCSEs #EducationReform #StudentWellbeing #Education02Share
Benjamin Contreras+FollowWhy Kids Suddenly Dread School at 11Ever wondered when kids start hating school? A new study just dropped and it’s wild: the big drop happens right when they hit Year 7 (that’s age 11, moving to secondary school). Enjoyment, trust, and even feeling safe all nosedive—especially for kids from lower-income families. Girls start feeling less safe than boys, too. Makes you think about how rough that transition really is, and how much more support schools need to give! #SchoolLife #Education #MentalHealth #StudentWellbeing #BackToSchool1414Share
