What is one thing you consider significant that isn't taught in school?

I think most schools don't teach life skills

@firefall: I learned 1) in home economics, and I learned 2) by being a college student.

@CoffeeFirst: Life experience*

@CoffeeFirst: of course, and I'm sure some ppl still do, but (1) is something everyone should be taught in high school, not just those who do Home Ec, and (2) is desparately needed long before you get to college - if you only start learning it there, you've already been inculcated deeply in the american cult of obediance and acceptance of authority.
