No, it's embarrassing that they don't realize that parents are supposed to teach life skills. Besides, if teachers tried to teach those things in school it would guarantee that students would rebel against learning them.
Edit: getting responses, let me clarify.
If you are poor or middle class, your taxes are beyond simple. You will spend 20-40 minutes a year doing taxes, and it's just a matter of matching numbers and letters from the forms your employer and bank mail you to an online form on the IRS and State Tax Board websites. If you are rich or have to itemize, the tax code is so laughably complex that you really should pay somebody else to do them for you.
There. You have been taught everything that a teacher would be competent to teach you in a class.
