What do you mean no knives and such? Then how are they supposed to get the dinner going by the time the parents get home?
By getting the cans out of the pantry, obviously!
My XH's sister sliced open her wrist on a can lid trying to get dinner started in 11th grade. Blood everywhere. Parents came home to what looked like a murder scene. She was fine, but still has a nasty scar.
OP, I asked the same question recently and got the same "it's just common sense" answer. Only it's not. It's really hundreds of fast decisions that seem small only if you've made them before without negative consequences.

A lot of common sense is life experience. A good class can't hurt to reinforce certain skills.
Right and the common sense advice is supposed to come from YOU!
