Sadly, this problem is not all that new. Nor is the problem one of just school education.
I managed a fast food restaurant in West Texas in the mid and late 80s. I had a young lady who worked for me (for 3 days) that I had to teach how to sweep and mop.
This girl had never been exposed to a broom or mop. She told me that her mother paid somebody else to do that kind of thing.

I think most guys today couldn't change the oil and filter or drain the anti-freeze from their cars.
They can operate a computer terminal but wouldn't know how to use a handsaw or hammer.
