Well, anything other than the education experience should have already been taught at home, i.e. independence, responsibility, time-management, etc. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 4, 09:47 12
- This is 100% false. Yeah I partied, but living at college was the best decision I've ever made. The life lessons you learn are unbelievable. - MDH Apr 4, 10:09
- My current slacker roommate didn't know any of those -- nm - ceregon Apr 4, 09:53
- how do you teach independence at home? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 09:49 7
  - By making them *WORK*, dammit! -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 10:00
  - You can teach a sort of pre-independence, where the kid does their own laundry, money management, some cooking, some cleaning, etc. -- nm - mara Apr 4, 09:50 5
    - that's a bit different - znufrii Apr 4, 09:55
    - True. But until someone really lives on their own, they don't know real independence. -- nm - ty97 Apr 4, 09:53 1
      - *adds to sentences that will make people hate you list* -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 09:56
    - realistically, most do not do that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 09:51 1
      - Sure, but it's not invalid to say that it should be. -- nm - mara Apr 4, 10:04
- disagree that that's even possible while living at home, by definition. - znufrii Apr 4, 09:48 1
  - This is true. I'm just saying you shouldn't go to college to learn independence; you should go to obtain a degree. Learn to be independent when it's - CrankYanker Apr 4, 10:01
