I love the Game Design idea! Absolutely! Think how much math kids learn by designing a game and then creating the pieces and board and rules. So much valuable mathematics in design, plus the feeling of accomplishment of creating something and learning to use digital design tools! Wow!

Sex Ed definitely. Here in Norway there are very few taboos about talking sex with kids. Kids think it's funny that people in other countries find sex embarrassing, and Norway has one of the lowest teen pregnancy rates in the world.

I'd add religion and ethics to the list as well, and study major religions and their impact on various societies.

I came from a Catholic school and when I was there, R.E. was pretty much mandatory. They did teach me about Islam, Protestantism and Judaism but pretty much most of what I learned was about Catholicism.
