Yes actually it does help but not for adoult life, mostly for university life which is full of exams and hard work on your studies. I cannot say that school time is just wasting your time. There is a lot of things that we can learn from it but also it needs some reqruitments on things such as teaching last year boy students about the rulez of driving and car details how to check their car if something goes wrong. As for girls teaching them for a future life as a future moters and things which needed at home as cooking, clining and some stuff like that.
