Rejected petition Introduce life skills in secondary schools.

Going through secondary school I have found that I have been taught that you either pass your exams or you are a failure at life. I am being taught formulas that I am told I need to know how to work out but not what to use it for. It would be more beneficial if I was to be taught life skills.

More details

Many children leave secondary school without the knowledge and skills needed for the next stage of life. It seems that we are being tested on our brains capability to retain information rather than if we are ready to do what we want with life.
