Sociology often gets labeled as a 'soft science,' but its impact on daily life is undeniable, from predicting voting patterns to shaping public health campaigns. Yet, in high schools, sociology courses are rare, with less than 5% of U.S. students ever taking one before college. I wonder if we're missing a chance to help teens understand the social forces around them—like why peer pressure spikes at 14 or how neighborhood segregation persists. Should sociology be a mandatory subject in every high school curriculum, or is it too abstract for younger learners?
