The bill says "Thirty-six (36) states guarantee access to personal finance education in their public." - http://webserver.rilegislature.gov/billtext20/housetext20/h7605.htm http://webserver.rilegislature.gov/billtext20/housetext20/h7... . I wonder how that's helped those other states. My personal opinion is that the system is set up to screw people out of their money, with the push for (expensive, self-funded) college education instead of on-the-job training or government-funded college education, the low minimum wage, especially for employees in tipped positions, the nerfing of union power, the high cost of a privatized health system, the difficulties of switching jobs due to employer-funded medical insurance, the lack of funding and political support things like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, high banking costs, and so on. Do these personal finance classes teach about these systemic issues? Or do they imply that the student is responsible for a system weighted against them? I wonder what part of the existing school curricula will be removed in order to have the time for this class.
