What do you wish that schools taught that you think would be very useful now?

In my opinion, the most useful school skill until now is a way to think. Without training, a great chance we think will prefer to our interest and benefit, and will not to consider other people. But in schools, we must be thought first is the team spirit and bringing benefit to our community. This durative training will help us not to hurt other people and keep our interests, it can help one person to blend in with society.

Besides, the school life can help a person to distinguish good from evil. Even though these teachers thought kind knowledge but we will practice before in the society, the school life can help us, it is a micro society, we can learn how to be a good person in school. If we have any problems, we can ask for other adults and teachers.

Since the knowledge and skills will be old-fashion one day, the most influence to mould ourselves is the life and experience. In the future, our own decision will make by our background. But that is means, if you didn’t have good passing time, you will be a person not in the society.

Revised: 

In my opinion, the most useful school skill now is critical thinking. Without training, we would think of/consider our personal interests and benefits first, and would not to consider other people’s feelings. But in schools, we should be first taught on team spirit and brings benefit to our community. This durative training will help us to not hurt other people and keep our interests, it can help one person to blend in with society.

Besides, the school life can help a person to distinguish good from evil. Even though these teachers taught positive knowledge but we should practice when we step into the society. School life can help us because it is a micro society and we can learn how to be a good person in school. If we have any problems, we are able to see/get help from other adults and teachers.

Since the knowledge and skills will be old-fashion one day, the most important/significant influence to mould ourselves is from life and experience. In the future, our own decisions will be based on our background. But that means, if you’ve experienced hardships in life, you could become out of touch with society.
