Life skills high schools should teach

School is about to begin again in the Finger Lakes…what’s the #1 things parents wish their kids would learn about in high school?

Money management, according to a new poll.

A whopping 83% said that’s the one life skill they should learn.

And it’s not just parents…a similar survey asked recent high school graduates what type of course would help them the most and money management was the clear #1.

It’s also the one we wished we had learned back in our high school days, according to the Daily Mirror.

Others include how to take care of your mental health, how to be confident, how to cook basic meals, how to start a business, how to buy a house and how to start a resume.

What life skill do you wish you learned in high school?
