>It's education when at the end of school the students have comprehensive education. And then you go on to list a bunch of things that have absolutely nothing to do with education. Cooking, house maintenance, etc. are (and should be) taught by your parents. Nobody needs to 'do a tax return' unless they actually start a company, and it's not exactly difficult. The vast majority of people will never file a tax return, why would they? That's what PAYE is for. Starting a company? Again, this is something that is very easy. You do not need to have a high school course on how to start a company. It's a very easy thing to do, and completely and utterly irrelevant to the 99% of people that will never start a company. >It's not an "idea", it's reality, and a nightmare. Especially when additional tutoring before tests is involved. Then it's learning even over the weekends. (source: know a tutor, and she could likely tell you more horror stories than I could submit here in a lifetime) No, it isn't. Stop assuming that everywhere in the world is California.

> Cooking, house maintenance, etc. are (and should be) taught by your parents lol, how are parents supposed to do this when they're either both working two jobs to make rent, or actually too incompetent? Kids shouldn't suffer for their parents being stupid. > Nobody needs to 'do a tax return' unless they actually start a company, and it's not exactly difficult. In Germany it's next to mandatory to make a tax return, at least you can save really huge amounts of money by doing so. Once again the failure of schools to teach this primarily hits kids with incompetent parents. > You do not need to have a high school course on how to start a company. It's a very easy thing to do It's not, and the only thing that's easy is to mess up and land yourself into mountains of debt. > No, it isn't. Stop assuming that everywhere in the world is California. I'm German. And you should stop assuming that parents are competent enough (and especially, have the time!) to teach their kids everything that the hypermodernized world requires.
