How is
that debatable? We teach coins and bills to 8 yr olds, but for some pseudoiberal-arts-intellectual reason we don't teach propaganda and compounding interest to hif schoolers. (I actually learned propaganda in a school-funded after school academic "sports" club, but my case was rare)
- morgante 11y agoI don't think we should be teaching finance any more than we should be teaching cooking. It's mainly a life survival skill, not an academic subject, and thus should be the responsibility of parents.
- opcvx 11y agoWe do teach cooking in schools. At least in Europe. See my parent post, that class was mandatory. There are plenty of classes that teach non-academic subjects, finance should be one of them, since we life in an money centered society.
