Nope. This is not about career options. It is about regardless of career or education paths chosen, it is more than opening up a bank account. Very simply, how do you manage your personal or small business financial affairs? How to set and live on a budget? How do you avoid going into mountains of debt? How to buy a car or a house? How to read an income statement to assess financial health? How to invest?
They cover those things with exception to small business.
I am not convinced all of those things are covered or in place universally in curriculums across school districts. In most cases, as I said before, these are electives. I am advocating Financial Literacy to be ongoing, required learning on par with Math, Writing, Science and History.
Just teach basic logic and solid math. Will help them in all things.
We already do that and the results don’t align with your claim.
We do not. We generally do not teach basic logic at all. And our math requirements are pathetic.We already do that and the results don’t align with your claim.
Financial literacy will yield more benefits for kids and for society compared to regurgitation of redacted interpretation of history.
Financial Literacy can help on both logic and math. Regurgitation does nothing to help logic.
I am dismayed by how predatory some of these lenders are on young people.
You can't pretend to learn logic by regurgitating things. So, that was quite irrelevant.
