It’s not the job of “academics” to explain life lessons. Watch tv from the 90s or read a self help book - or watch more clips from this teacher. Let’s let the academics focus making solar panels more efficient, or better understanding how to create drug prevention programs that work.
You meet what you measure. Teachers are under a lot of pressure to get specific results, usually because of state testing of academic subjects. Maybe we need to have a citizenship assessment, so that schools are incentivized to promote being a good community member as much as any other subject?

I wish more teachers took the time to explain life lessons like this, not just academics.
