Survival Skills that Should Be Taught At Elementary School

1. How to cook 10 meals.
2. How to swim
3. How to manage money
4. How to be an entrepreneur
5. How to understand the news

Why:
1. Thank you Jamie Oliver.


"We, the adults of the last four generations have blessed our children with a lifespan shorter than those of their own parents."
It's time to do something about that.

2. In 2004, nine people in the US alone drowned every day.
Needlessly.

3. Parents are more comfortable talking to their kids about sex than money. Money is taboo. And putting a credit card in the hands of today's University Graduate is like putting a Ferrari in the hands of a 10 year old.

4. Being an entrepreneur is a mindset. That nothing is out of your control. This is a survival skill in itself.

5. The news has a direct impact on all children, yet kids are protecting themselves from it. Rightly so, for they are becoming immune to the marketing messages behind the sponsors

Watch "Bowling for Columbine" and look for Marilyn Manson's interview. And then you'll know why.

It's time for change. And the time is now.
