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?

Figured my sweeping generalization, complete with malaphor, would bring out the members with firsthand knowledge of the subject.
Although I wouldn't lump you in with the crop of new administrators and educators, you can if you want, it's your choice.
FTR My understanding of the situation is purely secondhand and anecdotal. It's fairly easy to watch the fallout and make assumptions about the bad decisions that lead to it.
As stated in this thread, it seems obvious to some people that our North American society is failing to prepare young people for the realities of life; specifically financial reality.
Is this failure due to poor parenting?
Lack of useful/timely education on the subject matter?
Nefarious Capitalist dogma?
Vile Socialist dogma?
Slick marketing?
Or is it all of the above?
You and sns2 have shown that this topic is covered in high school, yet it doesn't appear to be sinking in. As someone with solid experience in the education system, do you have any suggestions that could improve the outcome?
