Topic | Should basic personal finance be part of high school curriculum? |

Vita_Aeterna posted...Yes but most students wouldn't be able to appreciate the importance of it in their teenage years, and how many of them will remember what they learn? I conceded that in my original draft of that post but I'll defend my argument: Ok. You can say the same for all of them buuuuuut...learning finances isn't the same as learning something like science/math..The application of it isn't important because you need math/science/ english for post-secondary requirements (very often also mandatory to graduate HS--you can of course make finances mandatory for graduation) and people actually have a passion about this stuff. Finances? Who the fuck in HS cares about this? Business sure, but finances? I don't think so. It's a valuable skill, but people won't care for it until they're home-owners, business-owners or something that requires a lot of care to personal finances. Sure everyone at age 18 will have to file taxes and do stuff related to jobs, or school but that's easy--especially with TurboTax. --- "Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities." ...
