College does, but that's part of the problem with our country now. High school has become so dumbed down that college is necessary just to become a functioning adult even though its rarely necessary for lucrative careers.
The human mind has developed enough by the high school years to grasp these simple concepts. The problem lies in that the warped education system no longer wants to teach anything beyond grievance culture. Truly intelligent, educated individuals do not become members of the victim class. They become threats to the ideology that most professional educators seem to ascribe to.
College is not free last I checked unless you have a scholarship
So basically you have to pay for this information
But I've never attended a high school class where the actual roles of municipal police and courts were discussed, and I went to private and public high schools.

Most social studies classes now are just a cover for teachers to show their own political activism instead of teaching children the basics of how our government operates. This is the case now and 20 years ago. You only think about it in retrospect once you're an adult though.

For those native to NYC aged 50 or older who post here, did you ever learn about NYC municipal government in any school before college (public, private or parochial)?

This summer in New York City was significantly less violent than last year — as murders, shootings, and assaults all saw sharp declines between June and August of 2021, compared with 2020.
“We know that the summer is always a challenging time here,” said NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea. “I am happy to report that this is now three months in the bank where we have really turned the corner in terms of pushing back on that violence with all of our partners.”
Throughout the Five Boroughs, the NYPD recorded 115 homicides in that three-month stretch this year, which represents a 27 percent decline compared with the previous year, when New York City saw 158 killings.
Similarly, shooting incidents dropped 28.8 percent, from 689 to 490 this year, while felony assaults decreased from 6,216 to 6,168 year-over-year between June and August.
“This is now three months in a row — June, July, and August,” Shea said. “And the expectation is 100 percent that when we finish this year, we’re going to string together month-after-month of reducing shootings. That’s our task in front of us and I firmly believe we’re going to accomplish that.”
Good news, but context is needed.
While the decline in violence this year compared to last is undoubtedly welcome news, the numbers remain high relative to the average statistics throughout Mayor Bill de Blasio’s seven-and-a-half-year tenure as the city’s chief executive.
Yup.......................DeBlasios' lows are higher than Guiliani's and Bloombergs lows per population...He was supposed to continue with the trend....
Can't wait for November.....Na na na na....Na na na na.....Hey Hey Hey.................Goodbye.......

Not 50 ...yet... but, yea I didn't learn ANYTHING about taxes, courts, municipal government, the way congress or the senate is ...supposed... to work in High School. Nothing about any of that!
Not a damn thing except Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad from 1986 to 1998, ...maybe a blurb or 2 about the Rennaisance.
.....
I had some decent science teachers, and -1- good literature teacher, who assigned "1984" and "Farenheit 451".
