Reading through threads like this one is why I already finding myself viewing this forum less frequently than when I joined.
For what it is worth we have financial literacy beginning in grade 7 and it’s mandatory in high school. People will still complain though, it’s all the school’s fault and their damn socialism. (Which is okay when I forget to send my kid a lunch even though I bleed blue)
While I agree that it needs to be taught, maybe we should think about tidying up our own houses before we start throwing stones? My dad walked me into the bank as a kid, taught me about finances, as did my mom. Is anyone here whining that the school is failing their kids on money management, looking in the mirror and wondering what they’ve done to model? Or are we just to busy being sucked into a Facebook algorithm of hate or staring at our friends snapmaps while not even knowing the date when the payments for our house, truck, ridiculously big camper, boat, side by side, kids quads, snowmobiles and cell phone bills for everyone in our house come out of our accounts?
Schools have a big job here, bc parents are ****ting the bed.
