[ExI] morality

Thank you very much for the information. I'm a huge believer in proactive 
health care, and I think it would be great if more of this could be added 
to the school curriculum.

In the swedish school, students still learn a third language 
(traditionally french or german) after english and swedish, and I'd 
definitely sacrifice german for more sports or perhaps proactive health.

Another curious relic from the past is wood working which I had up to the 
end of high school. I would also sacrifice that for other things as well. 
The school system moves slow in some regards, but, in others, such as 
grade systems, it moves quickly. Sweden has had 5-6 different systems of 
grading the last generation or two, depending on what the government in 
power wanted to emphasize in the schools.

Best regards,
Daniel
