Reply #8: Life Skills classes were offered when I was in High School [View All]

[bleedingheart]

These classes were actually mandatory for those individuals who took a "life skills" test and failed.

The class taught basic household budgeting, check writing (you would be suprised at the people who didn't know how to make out a check), and other stuff about who and what was responsible for stuff..."who do you call if your basement is flooded" questions were addressed.

You would think most thinking people woudl know the answers to these questions but a lot of kids are so pampered or neglected by parents that they are completely unaware of how to care for themselves.
