Why don’t we just teach that in schools? Instead of learning that the interior angles of triangles add up to 180 degrees maybe we could learn to cook healthy meals for ourselves?

They used to: "Home Economics"

BTW, not learning math can be very costly to your financial future.

My high school offered Home Ec. But my guidance counselor made me take Latin instead (I had already completely several years of French and didn’t need language credits). Probably a good thing - in hindsight, the home ec curriculum was pretty watered-down.

Isn't cooking classes quite common? Atleast I had that for two semesters. Mandatory.

A lot of places have abandoned that in favor of optimizing for STEM and the college rat race.
