There is a reason they intentionally do not teach basic life skills in school. Just like they do not teach you about money, taxes and finance.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

and what do you think that reason is?
Public school and its education is not as it is advertised. In the US when the government introuced public education, they presented it in a way to let any American have the oppertunity to become well educated and smart and in many ways this is true. However the politicians did not want to give the masses education were they upcoming generation will not be too smart to understand how the world truly works.
School and society as a whole raises you to be the best consumer possible.
Why don't they teach you to cook, so your likely going to eat out more. Why don''t they teach you finance, so your likely living by paycheck to paycheck. Oviously teachers are not holding this back from students because they wish to keep their students down. Teachers only focus on following the curriculum.
Also look at how many politicians send their kids to private schools.
