Literally teaching nothing about "life." At least not anymore, my mom says in her school days they had home-ec and stuff like that, and they were taught how to do things everyone SHOULD know how to do, like cooking basic foods, balancing a check book, sewing on a button or fixing a tear in clothes, and resume writing.
I think we really need to be taught about credit and taxes and stuff like that as well, because at 18 we just get tossed out into the wild world and are basically just slammed with "adult-ing" and have to find our way in the dark. Thankfully most of us have parents that will help us through the first year or so to get us going, but not everyone is so lucky. I don't know how many people fresh out of school get targeted for credit cards and fall for it and end up in debt, as if college debt wasn't enough...

It's too general. Schools just expect all students to adhere to certain regulation and rules, and they don't seem to care about students individual needs.
Also, 7 hours a day, seven days a week. That's the purest form of torture.
Seven days a week? Unless you're talking about the time it takes to do homework that's not right... you have weekends, but I mean, that's a normal work week so... it's basically prepping you for that. But I 100% understand the not helping people with needs, I had a friend who was really depressed during school(I mean I was too, don't get me started) but she would just stay home because she was depressed, and then stay home on days where she had to care for her g-ma and ended up almost being kicked out of school for her absences. Thankfully she was able to make up for it in summer camp and doing online classes the next year, but I mean anybody with any kind of illness can easily fail out, even if they're super smart because they don't have options to make up for the work they missed unless it's a project or something usually... just dumb really.
