Many people believe that cooking is an essential life skill and should be taught to boys and girls in schools. Others disagree and believe that it is a waste of school time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is argued by some people that cooking is a necessary skill and should be taught to males and females at the

school

level.

However

, others say that it is just a waste of

time

.

This

essay agrees with the former point irrespective of the fact that cooking takes away

time

. On the one hand, it is believed that learning to

cook

at the

school

level is a waste of

school

hours.

This

is because cooking requires

time

and attention

while

school

remains open only for five or six hours a day.

Therefore

, if students get to indulge in learning culinary skills, there will be less

time

for academic classes.

For example

, learning Home Economics during

school

in the Government schools of Pakistan takes away the

time

for other classes.

On the other hand

, learning culinary skills gives freedom to

cook

for oneself.

This

is to say that knowing how to

cook

enables someone to

cook

what they want to eat, whenever they want to eat.

For instance

, students who have the art of cooking can easily

cook

independently during their hostel life. Cooking

also

provokes creativity in both genders. It means that learning recipes and cooking terminologies causes individuals to generate new ideas for cuisine.

For example

, Knorr cubes are innovative products in which chicken and spices have been mixed by experts to produce handy products.

That is

why I agree with

this

point of view.

To conclude

, despite taking

time

and attention, cooking skills should be taught to students at the

school

level to make them independent and creative in cooking.
