I teach English and mostly behaviour classes of teens and they are very interested in learning life skills I do a two-period lesson on table manners and other manners I have another one called, 'How to stay out of jail.' It's all about how some guys like to control girls and what that looks like (eg stalking, isolation). I teach them kitchen safety and how to make cookies. We fill in job applications together. We determine the cost of having a pet. Then we go to the Humane Society to volunteer
There are lots of teachers who go off-curriculum for the benefit of students
