    the most interesting part of this article is when it was said that food stamp recipients are ripping off taxpayers. I know that alot of people see food stamp people as freeloaders and its due to the common conception of people taking advantage of things they don't need. I don't think it is really fair to judge without being in that persons shoes.

    I think welfare is needed and it's important to continue the program. I do however feel that the system needs to change to prevent those that do take advantage, sell their food stamps and cheat the system can't. Unfortunalty this ruins it for those who really need the help and are trying to make ends meet.

    It is important that Americans help out fellow citizens when they are struggling but I do not think that we should allow people to remain on food stamps and government assistance indefinitely. Lets form a plan to help people find and maintain a job that will take care the that person and their family.

20 Life Skills Not Taught In School. - 1 views

  •  
    I found this article to be my favorite, in the article it lists 20 life skills not taught in school, from communication and thinking to learning how to build credit and get insurance. This made me really think how I didn't learn any of those skills that I use everyday now when I was in school. It even talks about how the bible, cooking, guns, and finding a job all play a big part in adult life.

    Wow, great find! I have three children and my husband and I are always trying to teach them just about everything listed in this article. Years ago many of those things were taught in some degree. Now it seems like they don't touch much on these at all. I know there are classes when you are older you can go too, but I think all of these subject could be taught to some degree in the classroom setting. I also think that if they were maybe our economy would be better, because our future adult citizens (kids in school) will have a better understanding of what it takes and how to get a head to be a responsible citizen.

    Thanks for sharing this, you're right this is a great article! There are so many skills that the public education system is not teaching, yet they are super important and critical for everyone to acquire.

    I think this article is really cool. It shows really important skills that aren't taught in school that you don't even realize till you actually think about it. Many day to day things aren't taught in school but things that we will never use are taught.

    I agree, till this day bullying still goes on its so sad. It really impacts the youth and cause depression!
  •  
    Bullying is still an issue and there isn't much that can be done to stop it in its entirety sadly. It can have serious negative effects for not only the person being bullied, but the bully themselves too as they will think it is ok if not told otherwise.
  •  
    Not enough people talk about the psychological impact that bullying can have on kids. These problems do not always just go way, and they can carry on into adulthood if nothing is done about it.
