WHAT ARE ADULTING CLASSES?

Seniors at Bullitt Central High School in Shepherdsville Kentucky recently had a class that taught them 'adulting' tasks, including how to cook in college, how to pay bills, and how to change a tire. Whoa! What a great idea!

WHAT ADULTING TASKS WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR KIDS TO LEARN IN SCHOOL?

I've often thought about how useful this would be. Some of us have parents that can really get us started on the right foot. What about taxes? Life skills?  What do you think? Do our central Minnesota schools teach high school students how to adult? Here's my checklist of things I'd love to have students learn in school.
