Band 4+: Some people think that schoolchildren need to learn practical skills such as car maintenance or bank account management along with their academic subjects at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a belief held by some individuals that mastering practical skills such as bank account management or car maintenance is relatively important while students are taught academic subjects at school . I completely disagree with this statement because students have too much to learn at schod and also, it is better to learn practical skills when required

First of all, there are many and many subjects to learn at school. If learning practical skills are added to school curriculum it will lead to a decline in engaging time in hobbies and having time with friends. For instance school decreased time of Irish students after introducing extra lessons in 90s

Another draw back is the way that teaching practical skills at schools is not the most effective way. That is to say, students should master skills willingly instead of compulsory education and it is better to learn when required practical skills. Otherwise, skills tend to disapper if not used. For instance, in Switzerland retake a person should the driving test

In conclusion, I disagree that studing practical skills at is not effective approach because of much things to learn at school and it is beneficical to practise skills when it u necessary.
