What "Life Skills" class do you think every graduating high schooler should have?
I teach "Life Skills and Personal Finance" to high school seniors. I want to come up with a good list of "skills" that I can teach these young men and women before they are off on their own. Some of what we already cover includes:
● Banking
● Resume & Cover Letters
● Basic Budgets
● Spreadsheets (Excel)
● The Expenses of a Child
What other things can I include? Thanks!
Credit management, utility companies; how they work, apartment management people; how they work, introduction to tax returns and with holdings, inter net scams, interview skills, an over view of the challenges of caring for an elderly parent/child with disabilities. I’m sure I could come up with more, but this is all I can think of right now.
It’s a good thing teaching the youngsters life skills. The world is complicated and cruel if you don’t know what’s going on.

Forget all that BS.
Let’s get real.
It should be mandatory for all boys and girls (men and women) to learn :
How to ccok – basic skills
How to do laundry – basic skills
auto mechanics – basic skills – some as simple as to how to put gas in their car, put oil in their car.

I got more.
