You forget...we older folks invented the computer, keyboard, and internet. Why, when we were your age, all we had were 1s and 0s -- and we were damn thankful for that. You don't know how easy you've had it. 😂🤣😂
All schools used to teach a lot of useful skills...home economics, sewing and shop...but they now teach so little of any value in the real world...pretty sad...
Nothing is stopping us, ESPECIALLY HOME SCHOOLERS, from teaching these skills. In fact LOTS of home school curricula for practical things like home economics, auto maintenance and repair, even beginning entrepreneurship, are all available for anyone to purchase and use, whether you're home schooling or not.
You can do this, we must do this. Start a side class at the local church or community center for teens and adults. Small engine repair with someone from a real shop or the local tech college? How to do taxes, what credit cards and mortgages mean, how to figure out your real cost after all the interest payments...
I like to imagine the older folks here on GA use a typewriter that is connected to the internet; with their eyeglasses positioned halfway down their nose so they can see while they type using only their pointer fingers

I received a $1,000 bonus from the Army for learning morse code! LOL
And, $1000 was worth something back in those days.
All schools used to have typing class.
Pretty much everyone took it.

SO WE MUST TEACH THIS AGAIN
