probably doing thier taxes, getting jobs and look at the job markets for many industries, something Public schools and even colleges are allergic to even discussing about. additionally, getting participation grades will not help you succeed in college, which is partially the k-12 districts fault, because students bring in the assumption that they will get easy As,Bs in certain college courses only to wash out even from CC. also discussing how military recruiters lurk around schools or public places to prey on the disadvantaged.
elementary logic like what is used in the clues by sam game does not take massive knowledge of other subjects at a high level yet only some colleges require it so even like a PhD can go through life without ever having had a course in it. Its maybe a bit easier to explain when they have been through things like algebra where math is a bit more abstracted. Still its easy enough to play the game with them and explain why a particular square must be a particular way. Its also good in that you can say you know I can't figure out this one so lets get the clue and show that its an important thing but you know its not easy. So it is this wierd subject that is basic enough to engage with a child on it but advanced enough to never really master it. I guess in some ways that makes it like chess.
Confidence in self-sustainability.
I don't know what a better word would be. I'm not talking about making some self sustaining homestead or whatever, just the act of creating, building, repairing or designing something without having a guide to tell you how to do it.
You know, "draw the rest of the owl", but I'm dead serious. Just draw that fucking owl. You don't need someone to show you how or to guide your hand through all the steps.
US history of subjugation of brown people
Food, in a lot of places.
...oh, you meant things they won't learn in school? My mistake.

Hide your work and hide it's effects. Anything others can see is a weakness. Government can only tax you on what you earn officially, only things you show can be stolen etc. If you are having a good time it is in your best interest than nobody, except people you are having this good time with, know about it.
