i think literacy, reading and writing is the most important thing to learn in school
Why do you think those are more important than math or science? I think science is the most important.
i think critical literacy is the most important thing because its a way to pick apart the author's bias in their politcal views and influence, its a way for you to consume information all throughout your life
I guess that is true. However, I'm still not convinced that it is most important. I believe in teaching life skills to everyone, like how to do taxes and buy a house.
yes agreed but what is an important life skill varies by culture and each culture has different community values 
It can be tailored to a specific culture. There are a lot of life skills that are universally important, though. For example: budgeting and paying taxes.
agreed expecially because tax evaision is punishable by law, but in some places taxes are not applicable like poverty andliteracy is important
Right, obviously life skills would be taught at a later age (middle/high school) while children would still learn to read and write in elementary school.
