success. Acquiring academic knowledge is important but is not enough to survive the ups and downs of life.
Therefore
, I disagree with the idea of limiting teaching to academic for the sake of passing exams. In
this
essay, I will discuss the importance of other skills along with academics. To commence with my disagreement, it should be noted that education is a medium of developing logic in a child's brain to face a situation.

For instance
, if a great mathematician is called to honour his achievement at a function and he did not wear the appropriate clothing, he might not receive the respect he deserves.
Therefore
, a child must be taught about how to dress up in the

For example
, providing

This
is possible only if he has some basic knowledge or skill to do so.
However
