      I’m genuinely curious why, if this is serious. I feel like adulting badly needs to be taught better. I’m nearing mid twenties and still get so confused at a lot of adult things, especially government shit, because it’s just so much to figure out for the first time.

      It’s definitely important to teach math and science and language, and to teach people how to do their own research, and think, and learn, etc. But are you saying practical skills shouldn’t also be taught?

        If anyone taught you how to do your taxes at school age I bet you’d forgotten all about it by the time you needed it

        As OP said, what’s important is to learn to learn
