[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. They also can't churn butter or send Morse code.[/quote] Haha, this. Anyone saying it's a life skill better also be teaching them to ride a horse to work, since both have the same amount of relevance today. I actually tried to buy my last car as a manual (I don't live in the DMV, traffic there is awful and i never would drive it there) but it cost more, was going to take longer to get, and it took 4 dealerships before one said they could do it. It is absolutely not relevant except "for fun" today.[/quote] We call it Earth Survival class with our kids, and it’s fun! They can change a tire, start a fire, drive a stick, change the oil, etc. And rent a cheap manual car in Europe and S America![/quote] This! There are a ton of skills they'll "never need," but I'd rather over-equip than under-equip.[/quote]
