Today on the drive home show with Cat & Claudia!

With more people talking about homeschooling and alternative education systems, the Huffington Post recently published an article asking their staff what they wish they learned when they were younger and still in school.

Let’s face it, formal learning can teach you a great deal, but many of the essential skills in life are the ones you have to develop on your own. The harsh reality is many people (myself included) are lacking basic life skills or a clear-eyed understanding of the real world.

Students learn a lot in school and while subjects such as algebra and physics are important, some of us might wish we learned other skills such as managing our time; doing our taxes; dealing with personal conflicts; professional etiquette, healthy eating, and even basic car maintenance. Seriously, just think about how much you would save if you could complete a basic oil change.

Today on the drive home show, Claudia Marques and Cat Spencer want to know what basic life skills you wish you had learned when you were younger. Tune in at 5:00 and let us know your picks by leaving us a message on our Facebook page or text at 92925 (standard fees applicable).
