Journalism is a major for Liberal Arts college students who are not smart enough to be English majors.
We should make a list of basic things that we should teach our kids/young adults. All young people (boys and girls).
1) How to change a tire on your car.
2) How to check the oil, washer fluid, air filter, air pressure, etc on your auto.
3) How to hang a picture on a wall using a tape measure, a level, hammer and a nail.
4) How to wash clothes and fold a shirt.
5) How to cook basic foods.
6) How to throw and catch a ball.
7) How to build a fire.
8) How to swim well enough to save your life.

I’ll save you time with your list. Convenient that I posted this on another thread already today:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
-Robert Heinlein
5) How to cook basic foods. Without a microwave.
My grandkids had no idea you could cook popcorn without a microwave or make home made pizza.
