孩子在学校学不到的27种必备技能
Practical 实务
* Auto. Why cars are needed (no, not to look cool), how to buy a practical car, how to take care of it. How the engine works, what might break down, and how it’s fixed. Should be taught to both boys and girls (that should be obvious, but I had to say it).
汽车：告诉孩子为什么我们需要汽车（并不是为了耍酷），如何买到合适的汽车，如何保养汽车。了解发动机的工作原理，哪些地方会发生损坏，又该如何修理。这是男孩女孩都应该学习的技能（这是显而易见的，但我还是要强调）。
* Household. How to fix things around the house and keep things maintained. Plumbing, electricity, heating and cooling, painting, roofing, lawn, all that good stuff. The tools and skills necessary to do just the basic maintenance and repairs. And how to know when to call a professional.
家务：如何保养和维修房屋的各种物件，包括管道、电器、冷暖设备、油漆、盖屋顶、剪草等等。掌握进行基础维护的工作和方法，并且知道什么时候该叫专家来帮忙。
* Cleaning. Too many adults grow up without knowing how to do laundry, to clean a house properly, to keep the house clean and uncluttered, to have a weekly and monthly cleaning routine. Teach your child all these things instead of just telling her what to do.
清洁：太多的成年人没有学会如何送洗衣物，如何清洁房间，如何使房子井井有条，如何进行每周、每月的大扫除。不要只是让孩子做这做那，而要他们真的学会这些事情。
* Organization. How to keep paperwork organized, how to keep things in their place, to to keep a to-do list, how to set routines, how to focus on the important tasks.
组织：让孩子学会如何摆放文件，如何让事物各就各位，如何建立待办事宜，如何建立工作流程，以及如何集中精力在重要工作上。
