    It sounds like you’ve got at least five hilarious stories to share if your day has left you feeling this way.

    Many people stop developingg personally as soon as they can. Which can be frustrating to see it you pursued higher education and learned how the world actually works while they work, watch TV and drink beer.

    But people can only avoid responsibility for so long until life forces them to grow up. Just wait until these people have children or their parents die. Plenty old people are dumb as a rock still, but not as many as you would expect from the numbers. Wisdom is a form of knowledge and people grow, evenh without academic fertilizer.

      Tell that to my mother. Stopped maturing sometime in her teens and never started again. Her immaturity is the reason she wasn’t present at my wedding (her eldest son and first of the children to get married) and why she has not contact from me at all.

    Social interaction is also “preparing you for the real world”. As is the day to day bullshit you have to put up with in school. Guess what - life is full of that nonsense.

    Also, school is often what you make it. There’s plenty of learning opportunities to take advantage of that many people squander.

    I do wish more schools would bring back home-economics classes for all grades. Things like cooking, cleaning, hygiene, banking, budgeting, manners, childcare/sex ed, applying for jobs, etc.
