Our children go to school 11-12 years, learning languages, literature, theorems and formulas. However, at the end of school children with their store of knowledge are unsuited to life.
Editorial kolobok.uaattracted 10 important subjects that should be taught in school, in order to optimally prepare them for real life.
Ability to drive and repair the car
Of course, driving can train in a special driving school, but it is also the day and time. And abroad, for example, in America, each student is issued, having this skill, and while still a student, receives a right and drives a car. Simply put, this discipline is high time to introduce into the curriculum, and it is strange that we are not even included in educational projects.
Time management
If yesterday was the main resource of knowledge, today this resource - time. You need to have time to find the necessary knowledge on the Internet: the right to choose or "information garbage" to structure and place.
Such requirements pose an edge of our reality question the ability to plan your day (or better - a week, the next month), their work and leisure. Alas, the teachers themselves do not always possess this skill, they do not know who among colleagues "the shop", which in terms instructed the disciples, and they will have time to actually carry it out.
The ability to spend money
Why so far in schools do not teach the basics of the family budget? It's so important to understand how to distribute the money to have enough to pay for housing, food, transportation and other needs, not to be left at zero, and even more so - not to borrow. And if you take a loan, how to properly allocate their spending with minimal disruption to the standard of living? How to save money on important acquisitions and recreation? Where the child can gain this knowledge?
Living in the real world
How to survive in a computer game, to improve their "skills" and gain other skills of the digital space - that our children learn by default. They live surrounded by gadgets. Another thing - to be able to light a fire in nature, put up a tent, right to hide from lightning, even act correctly, if the house fire started or break robbers, children do not know, and should.
Take care of health
In continuation of the theme - children leaving school do not know how to eat right, maintain a drinking regime, any exercise should be used so as not to harm the body. Alas, all these vital wisdom we attain already on the method of trial and error when health damage.
computer Service
If you believe that, what, what, and computers - the guru, you are deeply mistaken. Our kids really skillfully handle any gadgets are able to find on the Internet anything but it is unlikely in this case your young hacker after leaving school, where he taught computer science - Advanced user.
Why? Because rare graduate install or reinstall the operating system to protect your computer from viruses, malicious links to distinguish. I wonder why this knowledge is not included in the school of computer science course?
The ability to navigate in the legislation
Jurisprudence - science is not easy, however, to teach students to read most simply contract, take the credit, put the money on deposit, so that when the case is not serious mistake and protect their rights.
Household skills
That's weird, why, after the lessons of work the boy can not repair the crane or wiring, even adjust the door in furniture? Why do not all women know how to knit or sew simple things? Well, so the wallpaper glue in school must teach - then you and geometry, and algebra, and logic can be applied. And to be able to fix the faucet and helpful girls. You know how much you have to wait plumbing. Especially sober.
culinary skills
Same story as with leaking taps. You might think that the boys will come in handy in the future, only the ability to fry an egg and cook dumplings. And the buttons they will not fly away. Perhaps you exaggerate, and these skills can instill a mother or grandmother, but why not enhance the effect and does not teach the boy to cook soup and cook the roast in school lessons of labor.
self-defense
Every week, our scholars, 3-4 physical education lesson - and it is definitely cool. Fine, if someone from the children time to visit the sports section. And if the child is not picked Sambo, Wushu, or karate, then it is unlikely to adulthood will be left self-defense and self-defense skills. Is it worth to introduce this discipline in the school curriculum? We believe in the conditions of our reality is a rhetorical question.
