which do you think will be most important in the “real world” life outside of school either now or as an adult? explain why you

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

I think that life outside of school as an adult will be much more important than being a student. I think that because as a kid you are protected from most things, and are also forgiven for most things you do. This is different from when you are an adult. As an adult you are taken more seriously, and have more responsibilities than a child. Hope this helps!
