Common Sense and Street Smarts are every bit as important as book smarts, but last time I checked they don't teach that in the schools either.
Thats up to the parents to start forming that base layer from day 1 well before the little snowflake toddles off to school.
Bottom line is it is the parents responsibility to get their kids educated on books and common sense whether its in a formal school or home schooled.
I run a business out here and currently employ about 25 people, Maybe 1⁄3 of them have an adequate level of what I would call common sense, they rest of them are barely above the drool level. Of that 1⁄3 most have a decent education and can carry on a conversation and know what to do if something goes wrong.
