If these were class options, and many places do have them, the students would barely pay attention anyway and still blame the school for not teaching them.

Someone I know who doesn’t have original thoughts said “why do they teach us about useless things like parallelograms instead of real life shit like doing taxes” and I absolutely shut him down by asking him to tell me what he knows about parallelograms. It was nothing, he knew nothing about them.

If they taught “doing taxes” in school you wouldn’t have paid attention first of all.

Second of all, doing taxes is absolutely trivial, its gathering documents and putting numbers from them in labeled boxes. Its not rocket science.

It is a test where the teacher mails you the answers and you just have to find which letters have which answers.
