At some point in my life, schools got tasked with teaching everything you need as a person. Things your parents or a business or the community or your employer taught you.
I don't know when, but it wasn't always like this.
The education industry actively tried to get all this "stuff" assigned to it because more stuff -> more activity -> more money flow -> the cut you skim becomes bigger.
It doesn't help that our tax system actively incentivizes bringing everything you can under the umbrella of any institution that is nominally nonprofit.
You're just patently wrong on your first point. Schools and educators do not want to have to teach every life skill imaginable. They are trained in content areas, like science, math, and literacy. The extra stuff has historically been forced on schools by parents via elected officials and state/federal mandates. Also, unfunded mandates are wildly popular in education legislation. More requirements doesn't necessarily mean more money. And finally, are you claiming that educators want more money for schools specifically so they can steal (cut you skim) the extra funds? That is just absurd and completely asinine.
I'm also not sure what your second point has to do with anything. Could you please explain what that means?
Lol. "Schools and educators" don't want massive football programs either yet what do they have?
There is no way an honest person can look at the situation and come up with an opinion like yours. College education is run by MBAs looking at spreadsheets and projecting out a quarter or three like everything else these days. Colleges are (well maybe not all of them) megacorps that happen to be schools and happen to have funky tax rules. They're mission driven nonprofits to the same degree that hospitals are.
