I'm not saying that, I'm just saying teaching it to 12-13 year olds is probably not super useful

A lot of folks are going to be writing their first resumes at 15 years old. Maybe 12-13 is too early, but if we let curriculum be decided by what teenagers care about, we will be teaching them vanishingly little before long.

People do a lot of growing up in the fee short years between 12 and 15.

I'd say that teaching kids those sort of skills at ages 15-17 could maybe provide some utility, but earlier is a waste of resources imo, maybe other than a very cursory look at how people get jobs?
