I wonder if theres still a trend of seniors and juniors taking focus on sociology/psychology classes. I think half my graduating year said they were going to college to become social workers or therapists.
Only thing I'll say is I don't know any single policy would fit all students, although if you intend to go on to further studies in college I would agree some sort of philosophy should be mandatory.
Its not that I don't think it wouldnt benefit everyone to learn about philosophy, I just wouldnt force it on everyone across the board.
idk any of the stats around it, but i would definitely expect to see some sort of trend, if not for anything other than the electives getting freed up as you get further down the chain.
even if you don't go into further education, just the basics of philosophy should let you engage in a lot more critical reasoning further down the line. As long as the student engages, it should pretty much be a net benefit for society.
