why is it the schools job to teach their finances? I see school as more academic, while personal matters like that should be taught at home.

  Are you kidding? What home? Oh, you mean the people who the banks gave giant loans to that it turned out nobody could afford and put everyone into foreclosure? Or their kids, who signed their life away to bankruptcy-proof loans on a degree they never finished, and can't get a job good enough to pay it back? Have you seen what passes for a parent? Yes, let's have those people teach their kids personal financial management.

I can even do exactly what you did and say: Oh you mean the people who raped their students? Or the ones who want to teach creationism and have schoolwide prayer? Have you seen what passes for a teacher? Yes, let's have those people teach our kids. On an unrelated note, I believe your comment does a good job refuting the notion that was made in the parent comment that " How many 18 years olds are making rational decisions about return on investment in 10-15 years time? ".
