19、e allowed except in some special exhibitionsBOne of the most practical parts of my college education(and my entire education) was my student teaching. For six months, I gradually took over until I was completely teaching the class. It wasnt quite the same as a real teaching job. However, it was defi
20、nitely a good way to get some real world experience. School should prepare students for the job market. Therefore, are our kids receiving enough practical education so they can be successful in the real world?When teaching kids, its important to be able to have a purpose for everything we teach. As
21、parents and teachers, we should ask ourselves: what can this be used for when kids enter the job market? I can think about a college class I took where we had to analyze various movies. I honestly cant think of how analyzing “Rambo” benefited me. Perhaps, I would have been better off taking an auto
22、shop class or a carpentry class. After all, I cant change a tire and Im completely incapable when it comes to using power tools. The Guardian points out that the current generation is one of the most educated but lacks the skills to mend a hole in a shirt or put up a shelf. We have become a society
23、that hires someone else to do these basic tasks. So how can we fix this?Perhaps, learning how to think is not enough. Rather than focusing on standardized tests so much, schools need to give students more practical application. Cooking is actually helpful when teaching children about fractions, meas
24、uring and multiplication. Students can learn how to double a recipe and see the relationship between 1/4 and 1/3 cup. As kids get into the upper grades, money management should be a focus. Making a budget and learning about interest rates are good ideas. I used to give my students real restaurant me
25、nus and a budget. They had to come up with what they could buy, including the tip with a set amount of money. In college, rather than only focus on the craft of writing, I wish I would have learned more about marketing and publishing my writing. Finally, internships（实习）in both high school and colleg
26、e should be required.It appears that some high schools are doing a better job of preparing students for the real world. For instance, according to NBC News, in Michigan, “the Utica Center for Science and Industry uses technology to prepare students for automotive and military industry jobs.” The pro
27、gram aims to combine students skills with employers needs. Students take optional courses in areas such as “multimedia, engineering or mechatronics” and also take part in activities where there isnt one right answer. For me, giving kids the opportunity to create is the key point. So far, the program
28、 is showing success.According to a Gallup poll, fifty-seven percent of American workers say “the type of work they do generally” does not require “ a bachelors or a more advanced degree.” Therefore, if a college degree isnt helping the majority of Americans at their job, then what is required? Many
29、jobs require a skill. Electricians and contractors have specific skills that allow them to complete their jobs. Whether students go to a four-year school or not, I think its important for everyone to have a skill. After all, a Forbes article states that half of college graduates are working at jobs
30、that dont require a degree. Clearly, being smart and qualified isnt always enough to make it in the real world.Im going to encourage my kids to go to college and earn a degree. Im also going to encourage them to think outside of the box and give them a practical education too. After all, you never k
