What I think every time someone tells me they wont use school math in the real world....
The funny thing about "they didn't teach us how to do taxes!!!" is the government puts out a 100+ page instruction book every year along with the 1040 form that tells you exactly how to fill every box of that thing out.
But it involves paying attention, reading, and following instructions.
Most people don't want to do that.
@kilroy_was_here @freemo . I get what you are saying but I think that common refrain about not teaching taxes in school is more about what schools choose to emphasize in their teaching efforts. Hell, you can just pick up a book and learn all about WW2 if you want to or just about any other subject as well. The point is more that the school system emphasizes intellectual pursuits under the mostly false assumption that parents will teach kids practical skills at home.
