I guess sarcasm really is lost on people when you don't spell it out for them...

Happy now?

Admittedly, California is reasonably good; but I was highlighting the fact that (generally, not specifically California, not even just America) many modern schools often fail to teach students useful life skills like road safety or personal finance, instead teaching things like modified versions of history such as holocaust denialism.

History is ofc important and students should be learning about it accurately; but I've always thought there should be a bigger focus on immediately useful life skills.

Knowing what happened in the 1860s (US civil war) is good and all, but not very helpful if you misunderstand where/how you're supposed to safely ride your bike otw to school and die in a car accident at 13yo because of it.
