Schools shouldn't strictly be focused on tests and money. Their main priority for students should be teaching them useful things about adult hood and preparing them for whatever life has in store. Schools should educate students on: everyday math (this would be extremely useful in so many ways such as purchasing items at the store, figuring up taxes and payments) , cursive (if you can't read cursive, how are the students going to read historical documents and important papers, or write their own personal signatures?) , fixing a car (such as changing a tire can be useful as well because it offers the knowledge of installing and replacing a flat tire by yourself when needed). There are still many things that we need to know how to do so we can be prepared for adult life: writing a check, applying for a job, purchasing a car/house, cooking, parenting, searching for a career, handling realistic everyday situations, and that's just to name a few!
We should care about what is being taught to us. It's our school. It's our life. It's our future.
We, as citizens of these United States of America, need to care about what is being taught in the school curriculum. Who we are in the future, depends on what we are taught now. Schools need to make it a priority to teach young ones useful, worthwhile, and rewarding information such as: cursive, everyday math, home economics, career ambitions, and life lessons (that's just to name a few). With knowing these skills and essentials, this country will be a better place to grow and learn. There will be more responsible students and more productive future adults. It needs to be mandatory that schools make these classes the primary subjects to educate kids in. I want to change what schools teach us. I want to know how to survive and handle my adult life. I'm a junior in high school and I've only got one more year before I step into the real world. I ask my mom, aunts, and family members "Who taught you how to do your taxes?" All replied, "I taught myself." Please sign this petition to raise awareness for what is being taught to your children. Speak out for them. What do you wish your school taught you so you could've been more prepared and organized for adulthood?
