gollark: I agree.
gollark: I also disagree with the people saying they should teach stuff like doing taxes; there are entirely too many random "life skills" and they change lots. They should probably teach stuff like the ability to look this up on the internet on demand, and to usefully work from this information, rather than specific things.
gollark: How DARE I not have done some particular hobby you like. I will fetch my time machine and immediately rectify this.
gollark: No.
gollark: They did earlier.
