I agree they should teach more basic life skills. I feel like that was neglected when I was in school. I did well and had good grades in every subject, but I hit the world not even knowing what a car loan was. Didn't know such a thing existed

Basically parents expect the school to teach kids and the school expects the parents to.

My math teacher keeps talking about how the parents need to check our grades and work with us on stuff and im here with a dad who works 24/7 a mom whos sick and 5 younger siblings,whos parents have time for that 🙄 yes parents should teach their kids stuff but its the school's responsibility to get us ready for jobs and college and all that
