While STEM classes are needed basic money use and cooking are overlooked. Just basic how to live, run a household, make money work , what all the gadgets in the car do. Maybe have mini classes throughout the school year on living basics. Even one on how to use your smart phone to its best advantage (I need that one) .

Maybe schooling needs to be practical some of the time? High end math and science are needed but not all are going to use it.
