Should politics be taught in schools more?

I think it's really hard for people to get a thorough grasp on anything - languages, sports, painting, whatever - if they haven't been taught it first, and preferably from a young age. Yes, you can teach yourself stuff, but you'll struggle and probably make mistakes along the way. So why does it make sense that you should go to the polling booth as a teenager and know exactly who you should be voting for and why? Politics is complicated, and I don't think it helps that it is seen as impolite to discuss it in the family or among friends, or reveal who you voted for. If there is no frank and open discussion of the issues that politicians promise the address, and nobody teaches children the basics, why would they feel engaged to vote? The most you might hope for is a vote based on a politician's perceived personalitly or the way they look. So yes, I think teaching politics in schools is a good idea.
