Does that have anything to do with your current life goals, by any chance?
You shouldn't argue from your personal viewpoint here. Sure, in retrospect it would've been great if school had taught me statistics and neurobiology from year one. But that is not what general, state-sanctioned education is or should be about. I suspect that for 80% all kids, entrepreneurship classes would have been a costly waste of time.
