9. I've taken the Stop the Bleed course

There is no way on Earth that a 9 year old should be subjected to this subject matter. It was tough enough as a grown adult and presented in the situation such as an automobile collision with injuries.

Having said that, the course rates up there with CPR training. I bought one of the kits and it's in my car.

ETA: Texas already has a stop the bleed requirement in schools, but for adults and OFFERED to 7th graders.
