Let's take the parent out of parenting

There's a video encouraging the teaching of life skills in school.

Why are we expected to teach our teens how to budget, cook, vote, and manage anxiety - on top of working, feeding everyone, and keeping the house standing?

There's a growing movement to bring proper life skills back into the school curriculum: real money management, basic mental health, how to deal with conflict.

Imagine the version of parenting where school carries some of this. We could go back to being parents, not unqualified life coaches.
