[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the school need to teach it? Why can't life skills be taught at home? [b]An 18 year old not knowing how to cook or basic life skills getting married or not is a parenting fail in my book.[/b][/quote] This. My parents made sure I knew how to do basic stuff--how to do laundry, how to make at least a few easy meals from scratch, how to follow a simple recipe, how to sew on a button or fix a hem, how to clean, how to change a tire, how to perform minor household repairs, how to balance a checkbook, etc. This is not a school's job. These are the kinds of things that a kid should be required to do as they are growing up, both to contribute to the household and to be prepared to manage things when they are not living at home.
