A class on common sense.
Also, bring back spelling. It should go all the way through to the 12th grade. I think most school systems stop spelling class in the 6th grade.

I would teach a class called real life or life really isn't fair. I think the more realistic you are with the young one's the more they will be prepared for real life. How to pay your bill, and how to choose the best job for you would be good classes too. Good question, thumbs up.

Foreign languages. Most Asian and European people know 2-3 or more languages while the Americans can hardly deal with just one.
How do you expect the kids here to appreciate American foreign policies and their friends from other countries when they have no clue as to other cultures and languages?

Sorry, I refuse to accept your intended insult.
There are a great many Americans who do speak more than their native language.
Oh and I never said I hated it. Don't be so quick on tossing around the hate word. I just don't agree with it. I dislike pressing one for English or turning the box at Walmart to see the English side or hearing Spanish spoken in my stores. I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Not Mexico. The flag I fly and that flies from my state capitol and capitol hill is the stars and stripes. As it always will be. My flag does not speak Spanish.

I will have to say .... languages. America is the power of the free world. Why limit ourselves to ONE language?

i am not sure about high school,but some stuff should difinitely be taught at home.................i.e. if you want something you have to work for it................parents need to stop giving their kids stuff like cell phones,ipods,cars,paying their cell phone bill,the rest of the world is not going to hand you want ever you want...............so get a good education and find a job that will take care of you for life....your parents are not going to be around for ever to do that for you.

Household finances, which would include what a mortgage is and how it works, how to balance a checkbook, how to file your own taxes,how to avoid credit card debt, and figuring out a household budget. Not teaching this type of course in high school is one major reason why our economy has tanked; too many people listened to the banks when the banks convinced them they could afford mortgages that were way over their heads.
