So....

Pretty sure budgeting covered in math 20
And math 24
I taught CALM for 10 years

Kids got given an ‘expected salary’ based on their career aspirations

Then they had to figure out how to
Rent a place
Pay utilities
Pay for transportation
Pay for education
Pay for living expenses

Yada yada


In essence.... do a budget.

Oh... also try and get a credit card
Max it out and mange payments in that budget

Get a car loan ..... figure payments


..... so what am I missing..?


Oh! That it’s kids and kids forget a lot of their ‘schooling’... because it’s not an authentic experience.

Yes.... life experience always does work better.

I invited parents to have kids shadow them as they do the family finances.... never had takers on that....

So why throwing so much shade here.....?

It gets covered.

Granted...... our school covers it in grade 10..... not the best time to do that I agree.

Why the rant?

Urban redneck..... you a regular visitor to schools lately... or you just dig the generalization cause it feels good to you?

Nice to just suggest that I don’t know how to do finance myself.



May I ask what your profession is?
