Students across the USA and the world alike are expected to maintain happiness while dealing with math, essays, random historical events, and things like the acceleration of gravity being 9.81 m/s². Well, in all of this learning, one thing is missing.
Garlic Bread.
Why should we teach this?
It teaches a practical life skill. Garlic bread is not just a side dish. It is a lifestyle, a rite of passage, and a character-building experience.
Cooking: Learning to toast bread with garlic, butter, and not set off the fire alarm is the kind of real-world skill that everyone should learn.
Time Management: There is a window. A narrow window between “golden perfection” and “burnt sad.” This is how we teach urgency.
Next. History.
History: Trace the lineage of garlic, wheat, and butter through ancient civilizations.
Or Even Math: Fractions. Measurements. Dividing slices equally with the people you hate…
The Counterarguments?
“They should focus on real subjects.”
Okay. When’s the last time physics comforted you during a cry session?
“But not everyone likes garlic.”
That’s what electives classes are for. Right?
That’s it for this week.
