During my schooling there was a mandatory health class, the teacher doing it was a dumbass who just sat around like a piece of lard, but in theory it teaches you basics of nutrition, exercise, etc. We rely on doctors to fix us because it really is a specialty to cut someone with a scalpel and have them actually improve in health. Most of us trying to do that just make a mess...
The idea is learning how to actually solve problems. Necessary for a doctor, an engineer, or a retail worker who wants to actually be a manager some day. Its not the fault of people who have intelligence to explain to the average moron that solving a math problem is much like solving any other problem... the average moron just wants to learn the same as a dog, through repetition and observation, but without understanding.
We need less of those.
