That is the real problem. People need to learn maths before they can learn financial literacy.
- vjk800 2y agoMaybe. Or maybe there is just a certain fraction of people that are incapable of learning it. Like dyslexia, but for mathematical operations. I mean, it's not like we're not trying. Math is taught in every school at every age group and it's around us everywhere.

Those with it need appropriate teaching, but can end up pretty good at maths. > Math is taught in every school at every age group and it's around us everywhere. it is taught everywhere, but I think it is usually badly taught - more commonly badly taught than any other subject.
