HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECT IDEAS
Apart from the main subjects taught in high schools, there is some practical knowledge that students need to learn before they turn 18. Here are some ideas that are thought to be vital to take place in the curriculum.
Budgeting
There are various high schools where students take economics classes and they learn how to plan a budget. However, it is not very common worlwide. Some people may think that it is early for high school teenagers to plan their savings and spending habits. They think that they are not completely independent, but it is essential to have the experience for their future money management issues.
Cooking
As food is a part of daily life, teenagers should know how to prepare it. Plus, cooking at home is not only beneficial for health but also for savings. Students shouldn’t be expected to cook like a chef, but don’t you think it would be nice to learn how to cook basic meals?
First Aid
Emergency can strike at any time so everyone, including teenagers, should have the ability to provide basic, emergency first-aid. They need this practical knowledge for their own good and also for the others around.
Negotiating
Teenagers should also learn how to negotiate. Some may have the opportunity to experience this in debate clubs but it is an important skill that every student should practise. With the help of this skill, youngsters can also manage personal realtionships and strengthen their problem solving abilities.
