20 Life Skills Not Taught In School Jake Akins Analysis

We can all agree that majority our lives have been committed to school, and some may say it had been terrible for them. Waking up early before the sun rises, seeing random people that may cause problems just because of their social status, or having strict teachers that have no care for their students who are unable to understand lessons and enforcing them with the threat of an F. But for others some would say it was an okay experience, they did not mind the time school started, got along with others and were average students who did well.

In the article “20 Life Skills Not Taught In School” by Jake Akins, he explains that he has picked up several life skills that schools are lacking to teach the young minds.

One person expressed how was the complicated math skills was going to help him pay his bills. This demonstrates that no special life skills are being taught to students because now on this website, many are revealing (snitching) about how useless it feels for them. Also in “How, High-Performing Nations Teach Global Skills.” written by Heather Singmaster, she informs about several nations’ education such as China, India, and Singapore. Each of these nation has a similar specific goal, which is teaching their students more of the world and help them figure out what they are special in.
