Many feel that students today should learn practical skills at school such as car maintenance and managing a bank account. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some believe that useful
skills
should be taught
in addition
to the standard curriculum. In my opinion, school is a place to learn academic
subjects
. Proponents of practical
skills
can point out that they make
students
more well-rounded. The majority of
students
graduating from high school are good at some academic
subjects
such
as algebra, anatomy, and classic literature. Most of them,
however
, feel embarrassed when confronting problems in real
life
.

their mind.
Otherwise
, practical
skills
can be fresh in their mind
due to
repeated application and having some tangible impacts. Despite the valid argument detailed above, I assert that useful

can be learnt at home

schools are the best place to teach academic

knowledge from their experts may or may not be directly useful but

skills
are important but should not detract from the true purpose of schooling. These

can be taught at school only if they are related to academic
