Education as a product is a collection of knowledge and skills acquired through formal or informal instruction, and direct experience, that enables a person to perform tasks of value to his/her community/culture.
Public education in the United States focuses on reading, writing, and math, because most careers valued by the US involve service delivery rather than product construction (clerical, medical, legal, technology design and distribution, business management, etc.)... and service delivery is very focused on documentation and logical reasoning/analytical ability.
There is some vocational instruction (agriculture, technology servicing, medtech, appliance servicing, food service, etc.), arts instruction, etc., but they are only lightly touched in high school through a few elective choices, and through vocational-specific training centers and colleges after high school graduation.
People going into direct product construction (carpenter, restaurant cook, plumber, road crew, etc.) after high school, rather than a service career, are expected to learn the skill quickly on-the-job, and not need special instruction in a school.
