Hobo-
In my schooling at least, emotions are not touched on. That’s a big issue... understanding emotions, feelings and so on is a massive part of humanity.
“Formal” things like paying taxes, writing cvs, how to work with money and so on may only be covered in a very basic sense
Cooking, an hour a week in the first few years of secondary? For us, every meal is an opportunity to learn; our little human is now fairly competent at grating a carrot, peeling a stock cube, picking strawberries/pea pods - school never taught me how food grows!
I’m sure there are many more, and of course I’m sure there are things that schools offer we can’t, but if kiddo is anything like her parents, the school system probably won’t suit

Can talk about it endlessly!
Teachers mean well, but from our experiences they are often very mis-attuned to children’s needs.
The system doesn’t allow time to play, learning begins too early (age of child)
Most children do not learn well 9-3, try 10-12, 1-2.
School generally doesn’t actually teach you real world life skills!
