It helps to focus on things that public school won't go near, yet everyone uses every day: money & language (science, not arts).

Money is something schools do not teach at all (aside from how to spend it). Language is something schools teach only enough of, for people to be propagandized about money for their remaining lifetimes.

These are the only 2 most basic social human literacies, but hey.. 🤷‍♂️
