9. If preparedness were really important it would be taught in school.

Could well be:

If capitalism were really important it would be taught in school. or

If economics were really important it would be taught in school.

[Kartographer]

If education was important the kids would be getting more of it in school and less indoctrination.

“If economics were really important it would be taught in school.”

I was in college and was going to sign up for Economics 101. The guy said that was last semester and this semester it was Economics 201. I said fine, sign me up for that. He said but you haven’t had 101. Said I didn’t care, I’d do fine in 201. He signed me up and I didn’t find anything difficult in 201. I think college time could be cut in half if they wanted to do it. That, of course, would mean less money for the college.

Anyway, I had economics in college so it is taught.
