They dont teach taxes because the laws change every year.

Well, you know what they mean. I would assume a lot of it would be just explaining what taxes are and how they work, and only part of it would be about actually filing taxes. I would love to have learned even the basics like "yeah, when you work, certain percentages are withheld in order to pay for things like this and that. Depending on what you do for work, you may also have health insurance or a 401K or whatever, which affect how much is withheld from your paychecks." They can talk about different kinds of insurance in the class as well, from homeowners, to renters, to car and health and dental. The class could cover how to manage finances, and balance a checkbook, or open a bank account. What is Medicare or Medicaid? How can you get good credit? Tips for applying for jobs just as much as how to apply to colleges. Not super specific things that would be irrelevant by the next year, but general information on things which are going to continue to exist for a long time.
