gollark: First aid is valid, but "helping friends with mental and emotional problems" sounds extremely hard to teach. Although I guess that also applies to independent learning and stuff, and the solution is probably to structure stuff such that it arises easily instead of trying to manually teach it.
gollark: Well, that's different to boring adulty things and jobs.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Also, since they're not very hard you'd probably have a lot of unfilled time if you replaced all school past year 5 with them?
gollark: I would prefer childhood and school to be a respite from the horrors of paperwork and simple but annoying finance things.
