Students should be taught academic knowledge so that they can pass exams, and skills such as cooking or dressing should not be taught. To what extent do you agree/disagree?

Nowadays, passing

exams

only seem to be getting harder and so, it is believed that students should spend more time learning how to pass tests

instead

of spending time learning

skills

like cooking and dressing.

This

essay will provide reasons why I disagree with

this

statement. 

To begin

with, acquiring life

skills

are important for survival. Because, without them, you wouldn't survive for long as the quality of your life doesn't only depend on

exams

. A person needs to be able and capable of taking care of themselves more than they need to know how to pass

exams

. To give an example, learning how to cook and clean up after one's self provides you with the

skills

to lead a functional adult life. To continue, learning how to dress allows individuality and creativity to be born,

consequently

, it results in students expressing themselves

as well as

provides a boost to their confidence.

Furthermore

, creativity is a vital tool even if it starts with something as simple as clothing. Because, it can develop and grow into the art of innovation which could eventually lead to inventions that

subsequently

better the world,

for instance

.

To conclude

, in my opinion, I disagree with the notion above as students could benefit forming being taught these core

skills

due to

the fact that not all professions require the logical

skills

that passing

exams

require, there are some that value creativity more.

Additionally

, everyone should be able to look after themselves as it is no one else's resoinsiblitiy.
