[An angry kid sits at his desk in school complaining]
Kid: Ugh why don’t you teach us about things we’ll actually need to know as adults?!
[An unamused teacher]
Teacher: Ok, I’m going to teach you how to do your taxes while also dealing the death of a loved one
[The teacher, wearing the same expression, holds a knife in one hand, and a hamster in the other]
Teacher: Please itemize your deductions while I deal with Mister Hamps, the class pet
[A class of shocked and crying kids look on in horror while trying to simultaneously do their taxes. The cries of the hamster off screen are cut off abruptly]
Hamster: SQWEEE- -


I had to learn all these things in school. They were actually covered in both junior high and then again when I was in high school. Also how to do job applications and interviews, budgeting, bank accounts, loans, interest, stocks, all that stuff. We even spent weeks doing a fake stock market where we “invested” and tracked the stocks we picked to see how we did.
Damn, which school did you attend?
Regular old public school.
Which state & city? Because I guarantee you most regular old public schools do not provide education to the extent you described. In which state & city did you attend a regular old public school?
I’ll say it was in the midwest. Not getting more specific than that.
