 Should Schools Teach Life Skills Classes?

Some schools are considering teaching skills for life at their campus, but parents and teachers may not agree. Some people say that it is actually vital for kids to learn classes without their parents. But others think that it’s too much on kids with the hours that they're already going through during school and after school programs. Some reasons may help you decide.


Yes- Skills are very important

Life skills are an important part of our daily habits which take up most of our lives. If we learn to perfect these habits, then we will potentially be in a more upbeat, happy life. Studies show that an average person’s happiness is 5.35. That is not very happy however many people with upbeat, and good habits, tend to have a happiness of 7.49. So schools should teach these skills if they want their students to be happier in the future. 


No- It’s extra work

Schools shouldn’t teach life skills classes because kids already have 6 hours of school. If they did, it would be 7-8 hours of school. And about 7 out of 10 kids want school to end even earlier. These skills are also taught to kids by their parents. When kids learn with their parents, they tend to listen more, and have a safer, more comforting environment around them. Many kids may feel pressured to stay at school rather than have  a little fun. Kids can also teach themselves how to cook, do laundry and others just by watching their parents. So why should schools consider it in the first place?

The World Before and After Westward Exploration

 Many things don't seem important in history but to know how we're here now, we have to know what came before us. Much of this started in the 1400s. The world was moving then, rich empires served as Patrons (people they could pay to study, explore, or create art for the empire). Patronage was important it led to advances in knowledge through trade routes. (An area used by merchants for economic purposes) After patronage was settled though, Europe came to North and South American many tribes were developing quickly. The Iroquois Confederacy was a "tribe" near the Great Lakes. They were gaining much power over trade and they traded cash crops such as tobacco. The Aztecs are a different story though, they were expanding greatly. Aztec rulers were becoming patrons, mainly fore poets. As for the Incas, their rulers were also patrons!   They were patrons for inventors that made and developed technologies. These technologies were for farming, medicine, and bridge building. L

The Age of Encounters

-
Countries on Europe's Atlantic Coast were competing heavily for wealth and power. Portugal, England, Spain and France sent explorers to America, at the time, known as the "New World." In 1488 a ship from Portugal sailed around the southern tip of Africa while in 1492, Spain sent a ship that sailed across the Atlantic Ocean. The first person to realize that America had been a continent was a man named Amerigo Vespucci. He is the one that called America "A new world" and later, America was named after him in honor of his discovery. One explorer that explored America was Christopher Columbus. He was paid by Spain to sail across the Atlantic Ocean for a trade route to India. Unknowingly though, he instead discovered America. When he landed on the East Coast of America he met the Ta íno people. Columbus's Voyage to the Americas increased Europe's interest in exploration and led to many other voyages and colonies. John Cabot was another explorer that sailed th

Do Gorillas know Sign Language?

  Do Gorillas Know Sign Language?🦍🦍 A merican sign language or ASL can be communicated by people around the world to help many communicate. Although people are using ASL, animals  are using it too. A gorilla named Koko is one of the first gorillas to use ASL. Dr. Patterson was one of her main sources of ASL. These studies are still going on today. Another gorilla named Michael is also learning ASL. Turns out, gorillas have a gestural language of their own. That is what makes it easier to teach sign language than almost any other animal. Although only two gorillas have learned ASL so far, scientists have discovered so much about animals since then. Gorillas are one of the smartest creatures on the planet. Some proof is that they’ve created a “language” where they can communicate using gestures. Scientists think that gorillas have actually started this language before we could even think of it! These gorillas are only the beginning of animal communication. The fact that they have a way
