I agree OP. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Common Sense, Manners, Social Skills, Financial Management, Handling rejection, Applying for Employment, automobile repair to name a few. Essential living skills that will be used lifelong.
Why in God's name we need to learn trivial high mathematics or fictional stories that have no realistic use is beyond me. Some things need to be phased out as they are obsolete. Saying sports teaches teamwork is pure nonsense.
Group work, teamwork and partner work only works in specific scenarios not everything in the world requires collaboration. Most of this is from teachers wanting to grade less and not focus on individuals.
Why/ how has the American educational system failed?

But how did it become a shithole? Because we don’t teach people to think for themselves.

I wish I knew about common sense before my cell inmate clarified a few things to me.
