some people think that schools should focus on academic subjects like algebra, history, and physics, but others think that schools should spent time focusing on practical skills like time management and banking. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
In the present day, education often focuses on academic subjects like math, history and physics and not on teaching real-life or practical skills, such as banking or basic accounting. Some people argue that academic knowledge provides essential information to understand our history and leads to a better understanding on how the world operates today. Others believe that more time should be spent on teaching practical skills that can prepare you for real life situations or problems that may occur in work environments. This essay agrees that practical skills should be taught more in schools and universities.
