This right here is absolute. People don't really use checks anymore but back when I was in school they did and I remember only once ever being taught how to balance a checkbook and it was like an afterthought because it wasn't "core education". Why doesn't education teach you about bills and budgeting and all those other things that are important to actually living life beyond the career stuff that's too basic to help the majority of kids who never go to college anyway? There are so many vastly important things that I guess is assumed will be left to the parents because that's probably how things were done when public education was invented but now that the government educates children parents assume everything will be taken care of and they can take their eye off the ball.
