View submission: The Mental Gymnastics is Infuriating
Our school is teaching juniors how to read pay stubs and fill out a 1040. None of them pays any attention. I fully expect them to be on FB 15 years from now saying “Why don’t schools teach kids how to do taxes?!”

I had 3 students that were so passed along for graduation. They went to work for their family businesses and they didn’t know how to fill out a damn thing including expense reports. They said: “why did my CTE teachers teach me this. We later said: “we tried but you just wanted to be on your phone and say how liberals wanted free pay checks.” FINALLY parents got on their kids calling them lazy and idiots for not getting how the real world looked. We finally told these parents now that their kids were out of school they were lazy idiots who cared more about getting their own ways instead of parenting. Admin by then no longer cared as they got their graduate rates and since they no longer had to listen to their BS threats they just said tough shit.
