>> remove the classics and philosophy from high school I attended an American high school at the beginning of the 1970s. We may have read a few pages from Plato, but that was about it for anything like philosophy. My son went to a better school, and there read some of the Nicomachean Ethics, which is more than I got. But it is not extensive coverage. As for the classics, it would depend on what you consider classics. I would be interested to learn what high schools, outside a very narrow band of selective schools, used to teach the classics and philosophy.
