I agree with goofycow, kids need to be taught life skills. Kids walk out of high school or college not knowing how to balance checkbooks, apply for credit, interview, buy a home or find healthcare. These are not things that should be learned by trial and error; the results can be disastrous!
However, I do think that parents, not teachers, should bear the majority of accountability for a child's education. If schools are failing, teach at home. TVs or video games can't be expected to raise children, yet they are a common scapegoat when children fail. Parents need to be involved!
