Americans should teach children “Basic life skills like Japan does”

Social media is a pool of great ideas and learning experiences that you never stop to think about unless physical engaged in your everyday life. After watching a video on early childhood development in foreign countries I began thinking “this is exactly what I want to bring here in Washington state!” Japanese students learn about basic life structures from school, where they gain all there basic needs from teachers or peers.

In Japan, home economics is required through middle school throughout high school. Students are actually required to know something before advancing onto the next level of education. So why not American students? Early childhood might be a struggle to promote all advanced forms of learning although that’s the purpose of the consultants department. Creating structures in which students can have fun learning and gain from the lecture. Japanese students get to learn about cooking, sewing and other basic skills while also maintaining the facility structure on a daily bases! When I see students actively engaging themselves in there schoolife, it makes me wonder why American students don’t take the extra time out of there day participate in after school activities?

Teaching life skills and job skills are definitely essential toward quality child education. There is so much more learning structures than just what’s happening next to you.
