Lol. Perhaps. I’d say I’d hope they would vs. I’m sure they would as there is likely a large overlap between kids which will heed the dire warnings of adults and kids who probably would have acted prudently regardless.
We know based on thing like risky sexual activity, drug use and other crimes or arrests, drop out rates, and other factors that a good number of kids won’t heed the dire warnings of adults on what may cause them to go to jail, radically alter the course of their lives generally for the worse, or even die, instead a majority will “get lucky” and engage in such behaviors without serious consequences and likely grow out of such habits with age or eventually face serious consequences and prove such warnings true but ignored.
It does require mention that those kids who would be asking for tax classes to be added would already understand taxes exist and are important or they wouldn’t be asking to have the subject added to the curriculum. In that sense it might only make sense to offer the class to kids of a remedial level incapable of using Google or simple directions and arithmetic to complete the sorts of tax forms they’d likely encounter; or to utilize a (most likely free) preparation software. Much like “consumer math” and other “remedial” classes of that sort however- the concept is controversial because while the kids with basic comprehension and addition skills are learning things that can help them succeed in life and perhaps even become tax lawyers or accountants- or be able to afford those professionals- the unfortunate kids without the mental meatiness to complete a

.. impart a particularly marketable or even relevant skill. Simply showing kids how to access the IRS website or find a tax preparation app in a computer class or welcome orientation- or even just throwing the URL for the IRS into their syllabus or something should give most kids all they need and the rest should probably be going to classes where they can get more focussed and hands on attention to ensure their specific learning needs are cared for.

They don't care about not drinking and driving when you tell them it will ruin your life
