I don't expect you to. Formal education has its bright spots, but... well, these days it's more teaching kids how to take tests than to absorb any actual information.

I was younger than most of our current gaggle of teenagers when I dropped out. There is stuff it'd be useful for them to know, but the trick is getting past 'why should I care when no one's making me show up?' Probably more useful to make the information available to everybody, and then the people who are interested can ask about more. [Because really, who says that'll be just the kids?]
