One critique of the public school system is its lack of real-life application. While the Pythagorean theorem has its place somewhere in life, we’re sure the practical use of such a formula pales in comparison to the ability to create a budget, complete a resume, or launch a business. Critics have long argued that while traditional school curriculums are great, adding more classes centered around life skills would help propel students further. NFL linebacker Brandon Copeland made this concept a reality by proposing a life skills course at the University of Pennsylvania. The college accepted the idea, and Life 101 was born.
