The drawing above vividly shows that the need to learn basic skills

such as the multiplication table is questioned. In reality, there is also concern about whether basic skills might become out-dated and of no help to college graduates.

As I see it, the basic skills college students learn will not turn old-fashioned. Instead, they will remain as important as they will ever be. To begin with, though basic skills is often classified as impractical subjects that cannot be applied directly to one’s future career, it is these basic subjects that lay a solid foundation for more advanced skills, preparing us for further studies. Furthermore, most basic skills, like calculating and literacy, are always necessary in a variety of occupations. It is obvious that no employer is willing to hire a graduate who can’t even fully understand a written contract. For this reason a lack of these skills may result in future career failure.

To sum up, insignificant and boring as learning basic skills may seem, it is actually of great importance and should not be neglected.
