Well-put. I wish I had more in the way of useful skills. Nothing I studied in high school benefitted me at all.

Public schools did squat for me as far as an education.

Everything I learned of use I learned homeschooling my kids.

I was at the tail end of actually getting public “education” (after K through 8 of Catholic school); I did have several knowledgeable teachers who taught useful subjects.
