We've dumbed down our high schools so much, we are lucky if kids can do basic algebra much less commerce and finance.

Good Question!!! I know a lot of young people that have got in trouble not even knowing how to balance a check book much less how interest rates are figured... I think there should be a class on how to maintain a good credit score and how inportant it is to maintain your credit to live in society the way things are now days... Maintaining a home and budgets and savings etc. etc. Making them realize saving for retirement... when you're young... your not think about the future... I could go on and on...
AGAIN A GOOOOOD ????

Because it never has been, you get your basics in HS. On top of that, kids have been getting the easy way through school in the last 10 years or so. I can't believe what kids don't know now.

I don't know, but they need to be. I know it would have made my life easier! I think that's something that needs to be learned before college, kids in other countries probably already are.

Why do you think the elite don't send their kids to public schools?

because worth while people will go to college and learn this. Those who do not go to college are lost to our society.
