I hate reading this kind of shit. Schools are meant to provide background knowledge on how the world works. Some responsibility in educating children actually is the parents' job. Pushing everything towards schools and pretending kids would listen for even 5 minutes when talking about insurance, taxes or job applications is mind bogglingly naive to me and completely leaves out parents and their part of education their OWN fucking kids.
But yeah, it's all part of the "system" that parents are too fucking lazy to spend even 10 minutes a day with their kids and prepare them for life.
I agree and disagree. I feel if a school - especially a publicly funded school - has any responsibility to teach children anything, it should be how to navigate society's requirements. I would much rather have been taught basic finance and taxation and career planning and political systems and stuff than the same exact span of World War 2 history 4+ years in a row (this was my high school). Parents should absolutely have a responsibility in teaching their children too, yes, but that's assuming ideal parents. In reality, today's parents are struggling too much (in part due to never having been taught how to navigate society properly) to impart actual beneficial lessons to their children on these topics, then our schools are neglecting to fill in the gaps before ejecting the kids into adult life with demands and expectations that were never communicated to them.
