The school I worked at for many years had a required course that ALL Seniors had to take. They went over everything from understanding legal documents, finances, cooking, minor house repairs and even went over jump starting a car and changing a tire. I always thought it was a great course.

Where was it? My school taught a lot of that (but not all), through the 4 years. I missed out on a few in my senior year though since I finished it in 3 1/2 years and was anxious to get out.

I also did not go my entire Senior year. I had enough credits and graduated early. I got a full time job, and an apartment. Ahh…those were the days…lol
