What do you think about teaching skills like knot-tying in schools?

Knots are extremely useful in the day-to-day. One can tie down furniture with them. Or tie up fixtures with them. Or bind bales of cardboard with them. And when the pole on the gutter cleaner isn’t long enough, it’s a stick, a rope, and a lashing to the rescue. Any time there’s something to be held in place, there’s a knot for the job.

A lot of people, I have learned, do not know very many knots, and so are required to resort to iterations of the square/granny knot (not the same thing, but you have a 50/50 chance of tying either of them unless you’ve been practicing), the slipknot, and the bow that they use to tie their shoes.

Since they’re fairly simple to master, and very useful to know, and aren’t in the least bit controversial (“Knot tying starts off as a harmless hobby, but it soon escalates! Your child may be tying knots in public if this is allowed to go on!”), would it not be wise to teach some common ones to children early on?
