Let’s preface this right off the bat by saying we support and love our Idaho teachers. It seems there’s always a conversation going about how our teachers deserve a pay raise and I agree – they do everything. When you actually stop and think about it, most children spend a majority of their childhood in a classroom under the supervision of their beloved teachers.

That all being said, we wanted to have some fun with the people of the Treasure Valley and ask: What do Idaho schools need to start teaching kids?

It’s 2022 and times have changed since a lot of us were in school. That’s given a lot of us plenty of time to reflect on the things we wish we could have learned that could’ve helped us as adults. Here are the top suggestions from you, the people of the Treasure Valley on where our Idaho schools let us down and what our kids should be learning in Idaho schools.
