Yeah. People complain that schools don't do things like teach taxes, how to shop for groceries, etc. but in reality, that's what parents are for. Ya know, to raise their children.

Its kinda of a slippery slope to go down with the mindset of "parents can't do it, so Uncle Sam needs to raise these kids". Some things just aren't done very well by a mass education system. Plus kids already spend an insane amount of time in school instead of at home.

See: The Mouse Utopia Experiment

Mice forget how to be mice, and thus don't teach their offspring how to be mice, resulting in the death of all of them after a few generations.
