ome people believe that children should study practical skills as managing a bank account, car maintenance, as well as traditional academic courses. Do you agree or disagree?

It is true that an increasing number of people think that children usually learn academic subjects at school but not many practical skills.
However
, I strongly disagree with the notion that teaching institution should teach children with only theoretical
knowledge
as studying practical subjects
such
as fixing cars and bank account maintenance are substantial for survival and job prospects for students.
To begin
, having
knowledge
about some hand-on practical skills can open doors for the part-time employment. Apparently, they can
then
work simultaneously, to ease off the financial stress of their parents, and gain a tertiary education.
For instance
, the majority of students in India prefer to work part-time in their leisure time to fund their own graduation.
Furthermore
, studying
such
subjects is advantageous for children who study only until secondary institutions. Even if they are unable to study afterwards, they can still get a job and survive comfortably.
In addition
to
this
, some learner finds it difficult to concentrate on studies and
hence
, fail to acquire degree required for getting employed for company. For
such
students, these skills can act as a survivor and they can earn their own livelihood.
For instance
, one of my cousins was not able to complete his graduation even after several attempts yet he managed to establish his own own shop for the house maintenance since he was having
knowledge
about the same.
Thus
, the benefits of garnering
such
skills are difficult to debunk. To conclude, both academic and practical
subject
Suggestion
subjects
have their benefits for the children, but I believe that more emphasis should be given to topics which will be truly worthwhile in life.
School
Suggestion
The school
should not stuff children with only academic
knowledge
, but more importance should be given to everyday assistance.
