I was reading this article from the School Superintendents Association and found in interesting what skills the author thought every 18-year old should have. Here is the list of the eight:
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO TALK TO STRANGERS.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO FIND HIS WAY AROUND.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO MANAGE ASSIGNMENTS, WORKLOADS AND DEADLINES.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE RUNNING OF A HOUSEHOLD.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO HANDLE INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO COPE WITH UPS AND DOWNS.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO EARN AND MANAGE MONEY.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO TAKE RISKS.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO FIND HIS WAY AROUND.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO MANAGE ASSIGNMENTS, WORKLOADS AND DEADLINES.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE RUNNING OF A HOUSEHOLD.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO HANDLE INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO COPE WITH UPS AND DOWNS.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO EARN AND MANAGE MONEY.
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MUST BE ABLE TO TAKE RISKS.
It got me to thinking, if a class on economics was designed correctly, we can teach all of these skills.
