Yes, because some students parents want them to figure stuff out by themselves. Having classes will help student learn skills without having to ask their parents. They can join classes that they are interested in learning those skills.

Not everyone has parents at home or maybe the person's parents don't have time for them. it should at least be an elective. The class could help prepare some students for their future with going to college or living by themselves. This class would be a very helpful class for people who never got a chance to learn it at home.

I believe that we need a life skills class in high school. People may believe that, that's a parents job to teach their kids those valuable lessons. What about the parents who...really aren't parents? There are parents who aren't there for children, they don't want anything to do with them. How is that child supposed to get help or advice? Yes, there are school counselors and teachers, but they are busy, they have their own lives too. It would save a lot of time and energy out of teachers and staff to have a class dedicated towards valuable life lessons. Not all kids have good support systems, and most of the time will not reach out for help or advice. We need a class that is required to help these kids.

A life skills class would help tremendously with a person's future. Not everyone has the resources at home to learn how to do certain life skills. Let's say nobody taught a kid how to do laundry. It is a necessity to be able to clean your clothes. Cleaning dishes is another one, if someone doesn't ever learn how to do these things they could struggle in life.

i would say yes because not everyone has the opportunity to learn from their parent/legal guardian, everyone's situation is different So, yes their should at least have the option to take a class like this. I wouldn't say it necessarily should be required but be an option for those who don't have the opportunity at home.

I think we need to learn more than just the books in high school. Many students live on their own or away from their parents after high school. Preparing us to live in the real world will create more independent adults. Many simple life skills aren't so simple for some people. When I got a flat tire on the interstate, knowing how to change my tire might've made the turn around a little faster and less stressful.

Yes absolutely, because people are very very stupid. Many parents do not even have any idea of all of the financial, career, and life opportunities that are or have been available to them. I am stupid, and cannot do taxes. This is something that many people would have to learn in a class, instead of parents, legal guardians, or adults just spewing crap into the void and hoping they hit a toilet somewhere. I don’t wish to go to federal prison just because I am not very clever and have minimal life skills. There will be other reasons, if the day were to ever come. Going to prison over forgetting a 0 in my tax files would be so embarrassing.

Students should learn life skills in school. Life skills are crucial when living in society, and parents can’t always teach life skills. It’s nice to learn life skills from someone other than family. Also, I’m lacking in life skills. :(

I agree that there should be life skills classes in high school. As much as parents should be teaching their kids, there are some parents that don't know life skills themselves. A class with the fundamentals will help for students to be able to retain information from life that they will actually need. Unless you aren't going into math or education you won't need to know proof.

I think there should be a life skills class in high school. Many students may not have someone that can teach them how to fill out taxes, or even write a check. This class doesn't need to be required but it should be offered to everyone. It's a great way to make students prepare for their life after high school. It is one class you may actually learn something from.

Yes, I agree that there should be a life skills class in high school. High school kids have a lot to stress about, and we're still pretty dumb at this age. We should be taught what we are going to have to know once we graduate high school, like how to do taxes, how to get healthcare, what credit scores mean, etc.

Schools should have life skill classes. Life skill classes are important to have because not every student has a family who can teach them the basics. It is good for everyone to know the basics and if students don't have families to teach them they're going to have a hard time catching up with their peers. Life skills classes are also good to have in school because, while some students already know the skills, they might want to grow in those areas like sewing, cooking, and doing laundry, maybe even taxes or personal finances.

I think that there should be a life skills class in high school to teach students how to do things once they graduate. Many of us don't know how to pay the bills, and parents don't always have very much time to teach us. Some people lack everyday life skills like how to do laundry or make a healthy meal. Or maybe how to do an oil change in some cases. These are things that we all deal with and some people don't know how to do.

I believe that life skills should be taught in high school. Some parents do not teach their kids life skills, or they do not teach them enough. Life skills can help students in the long run, and as they are starting a new part of their life and becoming more independent.
