we should teach them these things directly, instead of relying on science classes

Ok, so by "these things" you mean logic, argument analysis, media literacy, critical thinking, etc.

Yes, I had classes like that, and I think they're much more important than science and math classes. You can learn science and math on your own from YouTube videos, but you need the media literacy to know which YouTube videos you can trust.
