Should Basic Living Skills Become Compulsory at School

1．一些人认为基本生活技能也应该成为中国学生的必修课
2．反对者则认为，学生应在家里逐步学习基本生活技能
3．提出自己的观点

参考答案:In many developed countries, the teaching of basic living skills has long been stressed. Then some people consider this course should also be listed compulsory at school in China. They believe it’s a most useful form of education, which will benefit students for the rest of their life.
However, another group of people insist the new course is unnecessary despite its well-meaning intention. In their opinions, the teaching of basic living skills is the family’s responsibility, instead of the school’s obligation. Moreover, the development of basic living skills is a process, not something that classes can impart to students.
For my part, I agree that encouraging students to develop basic living skills is a good thing, but the unsuitable educational environment in China has to be noticed. Besides, the heavy study burden on students, if more classes are added, should also be taken into account. Therefore, I don’t think it’s time to make basic living skills compulsory at school for the time being.
