A high school is offering a class on how to change tires, pay bills, cook basic meals. Basically how to be an adult. This is a great idea and more schools should certainly do the same thing. For whatever reason many people graduate high school and lack these basic skills. It's not their fault if they are never taught how to do certain thing-it's the fault of their teachers, parents and mentors.
High school is miserable. It's the worst time of your life and if you say it's the best time, I feel sorry for you. You are only in high school for four years, hopefully you'll be around for seventy more after you leave that place. You are baby sat in high school, not taught any useful skills. Your algebra teacher said you'd use it in your "real life". Guess what? You haven't. So offering kids skills that they will absolutely need in the real world is a wonderful use of their time.
