I’ve had something similar to this in high school. We learned the basics of checking and savings accounts, how to write checks and what those funky numbers on the slip meant, how to balance checkbooks (kinda dating myself here), what credit cards are, how mortgages work, how to prepare for a car loan, what impacts credit history, various surprise fees one can accrue (such as using out of network ATMs, or using credit cards for a cash advance).
Around April someone’s accountant dad taught us to fill in 1040EZ. A manager of a local bank branch explained how CDs worked.
For something taught once a week a semester seemed like the right amount, but it was definitely low-key low-intensity class.
