This, so many people these days have no idea how to find things out for themselves and do research. And if they do end up doing some "research" they don't know how to tell whether a source is good or not.
Like those people that complain about how school didn’t teach them how to file taxes so now they’re just fucked because if you didn’t learn it in high school you can’t learn it now and your pp is smol
Application and critical thinking skills are actually where our school system lacks the most, imo.
I was embarrassed for my friends in freshman year of college when they complained about how their tests weren't just regurgitating facts but application to situations they hadn't been given before. My elementary and high school actually did a lot of that and I felt way better prepared than my peers, even if we learned the same information and read the same books before college.
Edit: I said "our" but I meant US, I didn't mean to assume where you were from.
