Life 101

What do you think they should teach at school these days? I think they need more lessons to do with things that are going to be thrown at you in life. Be it to do with careers, money, relationships, dealing with peer pressure or anything. People these days are too focused on things that will get them ahead in the workplace to remember that you need to focus on life outside of your job in order to really live a good life. People lose jobs because of outside influences often these days and I think humanity in general would benefit from this sort of thing. I know I probably would have - luckily I'm doing okay regardless but yeah.

Ohio schools are soon going to be required to teach a class that shows things like how to balance a checkbook and what a mortgage is, etc. Life stuff.

Depending on your graduation year you might not've had to take it. I remember hearing about the class but it was added to the curriculum like a year or two after I would've needed it.

I wish there would've even been like just one week of class in some random class in high school that gave me a clue about when to apply for college, how to best prepare for the application, finding scholarships and just all of that stuff. I had to find out everything literally from all of my friends; my immediate family didn't have much experience with it and the only thing the high school did for me was put on a college fair, which was less matter-of-fact about the application and more BS trying to recruit you to go to whatever schools were presenting.

Umm, other than that I think there should be a greater push for classes that prepare you for higher-education, ie making calculus a mandatory requirement for graduation, as well as advanced writing courses that really stress good technique. Those classes exist, but most people slip by without them, and I see a lot of those same people drowning in college.

That would suck like bad. i passed that class by the skinn on my teeth i hated it. I think i had a bad teacher though cause like 90% of the class had a really hard time getting it she didnt go over ther crap good enough but what ev

Instead of all of that stuff, which should be taught by the parents (though I understand a lot of parents fail), I think that schools should focus on something that kids fail at lately that they should be good at: ENGLISH.

Make kids take more writing classes. Then when THAT'S covered, focus on this extra stuff.

[Jessweeee♪]

That would be neat. 'bout all we have is Economics and DON'T HAVE SEX EVER OR YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE STD RELATED DEATH AND HAVE EIGHT BABIES WITH BIRTH DEFECTS classes ._.

I never had any class that taught you how to balance check books and such. It didn't even exist at my school and it still doesn't.

I think they should dedicate a whole class to teaching typing online still counts as writing. 60% don't consider instant messaging or text messages actual "writing" [I guess], so they don't try. It doesn't have to be perfect, but when I have YouTube comments like "they r all like so young here n so cute. but not they r HOT! loln i agree w/ u papercliplizard!! ppl pretty much only like these guys cuz they r hot. they r IK! but they have TRUE talent 2!!!! so um neways...on a non related subject...im preg n only 14! i have no idea how 2 tell my rents or BF. if u cood message me soon, that wood b SO GREAT! thank u if u do. okay back 2 the hottest boys n the world-U ROCK JOBROS! I LOVE U 2 DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (that's real and took me less than a minute to find) I wish that when typing they at least somewhat tried.

I already know how to balance a check book, plan out my career, handle my money, decide whether it's a good time to loan a bond or buy a stock, and this semester I'm currently learning how to take care of an infant.

What else do I need to learn? I've got 2 more years left!

In British schools, PSHE kind of has all of this stuff covered. In GOOD schools, at least.
