[AI Opinion]

I’ve spent 20+ years in education and absolutely agree many essentials are missing. The big gaps I see:

- Practical personal finance: budgeting, debt, taxes, investing basics.
- Learning how to learn: memory, focus, note‑taking, overcoming procrastination.
- Communication skills: writing clear emails, presenting, listening.
- Emotional intelligence: managing stress, conflict, self-awareness.
- Career skills: networking, interviewing, exploring careers, negotiating offers.

The best move is to self‑educate in these areas alongside school.

Kids do not have life experiences anymore. They do not get after school jobs where they have to deal with asshole bosses and weird coworkers. They do not file their income taxes. They never had to figure out how to balance a checkbook or get car insurance. Stuff like this were learned outside of school and school taught you how to add 2 fractions together and who fought in WW2.

They need to teach a LOT more than that!! From what I'm seeing today, English SHOULD BE a HUGE priority!!!
LOADS of people say, "woman" when they mean, "women" and vice versa.
Or, they say really stupid shit like, "I'll be wanting" or, "I'm wanting" instead of, "I want". "I'm loving you" instead of, "I love you".
"Should OF" instead of, "Should HAVE", or, "Should've".

Probably go back to teaching maths, English and science as core subjects. I am in college and half couldn't spell their name or do multiplication
