Writing Text 2: Should life skills be taught at school?

It really depends on which skill and his real necessity in our daily, the school should taught these skills only if really needed, cookery for example would have no need to be taught on school, since we can learn by ourselves in our houses with the help of parents or with a cookery book.

The school should know too, when and how to teach these skills, you can`t, for example, teach sex education to kids on primary school! This should be focused on students of high-school at least. In racism awareness the teachers must take care to don’t promote a prejudice that, for example, Afro descent`s or Indians need protection or something to let them feel better. Drug and alcohol awareness is another which needs careless, this shouldn`t induce the students to want to know how they worked, only by curiosity, their dangers and side-effects should be taught and not only the "good effects".

Besides that, some skills are almost obviously why they should be teach in school, first aid is important to at least know what to do in an emergency, but even this should be taught with careless, maybe not by teachers, but by someone specialist in the subject, like nurses, fire-fighters or even doctors.

The best subjects to be taught should be the ones you won’t have interest in learn it on home. Economics it`s usually something the people, at least the kids or teenagers, that doesn`t pay attention in, so if doesn`t applied in school, maybe these students will even know why understand economy is important.
