I thought this weekend about what really should we teach kids other then basic math and science before they graduate. I came up with the following 10 things. What do you think about my list? I know how to do everything with the exception of 6 and 8. I don't have much firearm dismantling experience. Maybe someone on here can help me. I have high skills with a bow and arrow though.

 

1. Basic repair and troubleshooting of common cars/trucks. How to drive a car.

2. Basic repair and troubleshooting of computers

3. Basic repair and troubleshooting of common household appliances

4. How to clean clothes without using a major appliance / how to iron clothes

5. How to safely camp outside (setting up a tent, starting a fire, searching or chopping down firewood etc)

6. How to safely shoot and dismantle common pistols, rifles, and bows.

7. How to swim and rescue someone in the water

8. How to perform CPR

9. How to safely hunt and cook small to medium animals in the wild.

10. Banking 101. How to make money via stocks and bonds. How to save money for the future.

 

Rule 11

 

Make enough money so you can pay someone to do all these things for you.
