While I understand your sentiment, from a certain point of view, I find it sad. I'm likely generalizing, but it seems that the common theme shared among my millennial peers is that the job of the education system should be focused on preparing the individual for "life in the real world"

I would greatly fear the movement away from topics like history, science, civics/political science, etc. in favor of the creation of someone I would describe as an "economic drone"

I think it would be a great loss indeed to lose focus on our past.
