> learning how to learn This is taught, at least at German schools. It‘s just that nobody pays attention. > learning what matters in the world (and therein how to be happy) This is way too subjective to be part of a curriculum. Trying would border on indoctrination.

> This is taught, at least at German schools. It‘s just that nobody pays attention. Interesting, is the curriculum anywhere online? Curious to take a look. > This is way too subjective to be part of a curriculum. Trying would border on indoctrination. I see it as the opposite of indoctrination. Teaching students how to choose their own values (and how happiness is a function of your values) gives them more freedom not less. You wouldn't want to push any specific value framework, but you do want to teach students that it's possible to choose your own adventure, instead of getting indoctrinated by your society's prevailing values. A curriculum such as: - What are values? - The connection between happiness and values - Value traits (e.g. extrinsic vs intrinsic, behavioral vs situational) - Value prioritization and hierarchies - Different cultures and their distinct value frameworks - Practical applications (e.g. learning how to change your values; trying out different values for a day/week)

  Sorry for the late reply, I hope you still see this. > Interesting, is the curriculum anywhere online? Curious to take a look. They are, but in German: https://www.mk.niedersachsen.de/startseite/service/rechts_und_verwaltungsvorschriften/lehrplane/ https://www.mk.niedersachsen.de/startseite/service/rechts_un... Also, it’s been a while since I went to school. Not sure what changed in the meantime. > Teaching students how to choose their own values (and how happiness is a function of your values) gives them more freedom not less. You wouldn't want to push any specific value framework, but you do want to teach students that it's possible to choose your own adventure […] I fully agree with that. I apparently just misunderstood your original comment.
