if school was preparation for adult life then it really should teach you to drive, cook, and an understanding of the law.

I don't know about now, but when I was in school (in the US), we were taught all those things and more (a bit of carpentry, metal work, engine repair, simple accounting, etc) YMMV.

At least back at the district I was in back in the day (and worked at, briefly), students could either take shop/business or advanced core classes. For some reason, those paths tended to have scheduling conflicts.
