Opinion about that all pupils should be taught practical skills at school,like cooking or driving.

I agree with this because I think it would be a great opportunity to be able to learn how to drive and cook because they are basic things we need to know when we leave but they are some consequences about doing this in school.

First of all,it would cost a lot of money because the school would be responsable for any damage or injuries.Also the school would have to have a kitchen with basic utensils for example(an oven,a microwave etc)and the school would have to provide food to be cook.Likewise about the driving lessons,I think it would be great but they would be very expensive because the school would also have to hire driving instructors.

To conclude,I think it would be very popular but I don't think the risks are worth it because it's a big responsibility,the students could have a serious injury.
