How to get a job. How to balance your checkbook. How to pay your taxes.
You know, actual life skills that literally everyone needs to know. Seems like that should be taught.

I know, it's literally nonsensical.
Although I have to give a shout out to Oklahoma, they added a state-mandated high-school course in household finances, to cover stuff like balancing a checkbook and paying bills. So that's cool of Oklahoma to be ahead of the curve like that. But this type of thing should be way more common. The disconnect between what's taught in school and what's needed in life, is far too large
