I don't know what your basis is for your views on "education" or who the "teachers" are. Where or which of this "education" of millennials by boomers (presumably) is coming from?
Teachers would not have taught much of this. I assume you mean parents. But parents cannot be expected to teach much of anything, really. Public education, past or present, does not include "follow your passions", or budgeting, or relationships, or whether to pursue a college degree or not, or virtually anything on your list. #2 is right; parents cannot really be expected to teach anything. Nor can children be expected to listen to what the parents DO teach.
As for what is "woke", which you attributed to younger generations, that is such a general term that it means nothing. There's lots of things we the people ALL ages need to be awake to today, like the issues of today such as climate change, inequality, racism and xenophobia, etc., and some things touted that we do NOT need to be "awake" to (like QAnon and other conspiracy theories) but they also use the term "woke" or "awaken".
