Truth be told, I really wish schools would teach more life-skills lessons. Basic survival, basic mechanic skills, how to shoot, how to fish, how to manage finances, basic cooking, basic plant identification, basic compass/map/gps skills, basic security/awareness/self-defense techniques, how to make a major purchase without getting screwed, how to properly care for a child, ect.

Basically, all the skills that one will use (and use often) once they enter the real world. Fact is, a lot of kids need help in these areas, especially in modern times when more and more kids are getting less and less parental guidance. Plus, I think it would help to keep school attendance up if kids were actually learning something they thought was useful.
