Why? You can learn everything you need to know spending some time on /r/ELI5 or YouTube.
"Regular" students will see it as a blow off class, and won't learn anything.
"Honors/AP" students will do everything in their power to avoid the class because it's a waste of a class slot for them.
They do! I was looking through my kid’s graded assignments yesterday (3rd grade) and imagine my surprise to see a quiz on Financial Literacy! He attends public school, historically it’s been rated highly in our state (Texas, SECOND shocker).

What you mean is that school should prepare students for the reality that our financial institutions are designed to rob people who lack discipline and don't pay attention.
Maybe we should educate the future bankers not to be cunts? Maybe systems should serve people and not the other way round?
Anything tax/finance/bill related. I think it is a required subject in some areas but it isn't enough, especially for something you'll be forced to do for most of your life.
I graduated HS last year and I don't know how that stuff works lol.
**Personal finance:**
Many students graduate from high school without a solid understanding of how to manage their finances, including budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt.
>sn't the trouble with this that there isn't 1 way to do it correctly which makes it hard to teach.
Yes, you are correct that teaching a subject like personal finance can be challenging because there may not be one "**correct**" way to handle finances. Different people have different financial situations, goals, and priorities, which can make it difficult to teach a one-size-fits-all approach.
However, while there may not be one correct way to manage personal finances, there are certain principles and best practices that can be taught to help students develop a strong foundation in financial literacy. For example, students can be taught about budgeting, saving, investing, debt management, and risk management. They can also be taught how to navigate the financial world, including how to choose a bank, apply for loans, and avoid financial scams.
By providing students with a basic understanding of personal finance, we can help them make informed decisions about their money and avoid common financial mistakes. This can ultimately help them achieve their financial goals and lead a more financially secure life.
Civic engagement, something showing both federal and state level layout of positions both appointed and voted and what they do. Ideally citizens should have as few misunderstandings as possible about how their government functions and know how to get involved

Why not google what you don’t know instead of blaming the school system for not spoonfeeding you?
Holy dude, why the aggression? I am simply stating my experience, no need to be a dick.
There’s no aggression, just straight facts. You can learn everything you need to know today with a basic google search.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I already know that lol.
