Insisting things like tax returns or household maintenance should be taught in school.
The goal of Education is not to train you to fit into the system you happen to grow up in, but should provide the foundation (litaracy, STEM, art โฆ) and awaken the curiosity in yourself to become lifelong learner. That will develop society, and not a bunch of drones doing their tax returns and changing tires every season.
At minimum; school should give you the tools to be able to figure out how to do taxes/basic house maintenance/etc. But also, sometimes people need a little extra help; and we should have some sort of system to help people learn those things.
Those are foundational skills like math and reading. Accounting exists and mechanical repair exists. They aren't teaching you those specific fields.

I would say "not the grammar" since many users are not native English speakers and have learned it as a second (or third, fourth...) language. ๐โโ๏ธ๐
