Should schools teach more life skills than the traditional subjects?

I would think but they focus on what gets them money back. They so silly, you could get your money back every time if you taught right. You to worried about someone robbing you so you raise your price to rob them first and next thing you know we in a world where no one can trust anything.

Both are important. I feel that can balance it

At my college, the first semester we had to take a class called Student Success Skills. They tried to teach you what high school left out about dealing with basic skills to you by. However, I really think some classes like financial literacy should be taught in high school. Kids need to know how to budget, and the danger of overusing credit cards. I also think Home Economics should be brought back. Too many people can’t even cook! But overwhelmingly, we need more teaching about finances. More than anything.

They should but don't.

@eldav1s Much more time should be spent teaching budgeting skills etc and also how to be polite and respectful.

I guess kids need both but certainly life skills are very important.

Yes, teach academics like reading, math, history, language and cooking, how to keep a checkbook, how to do taxes, how to keep up a house.

I think teachers should teach those life skills you mentioned at schools. Teaching them to budget their finances is not only important but is also good for the students.

I have always thought schools should have, as part of their curriculum, lessons in money management, how interest works both in terms of credit and saving, how to invest in the stock market, and so on and so forth.
