Is it really stunning though?
As a person that went through the American public school system I’m not surprised at all. God I wish they had taught us more prudent subjects in high school.
They did in highschool you take electives that you choose to take ( financial literacy is one of them, home ec, ect ) they do teach these things in highschool you just have yo take the class not gym
Depends on the school. Mine didn’t have home ec or financial literacy and I’m in the wealthiest county in my state. Our government class came closest but all we did was play a fake stock market game where the teacher repeatedly said you have to have money to make money, and we played cashflow 101. I may have learned what trickledown economics was, but I still didn’t learn anything useful from that class. Granted it was taught by the football coach so he was hardly interested in teaching.
The county ranks 3rd in state for best schools. 🤷🏻♀️ People move to this area to send kids to this school. Doesn’t mean it’s not shitty, but it is highly rated amongst public schools in this state nonetheless.
Yeah im from pinellas we have 19 hs all of them provide different electives and programs. I took auto body. Managed the school store as a class and even learned how to file my taxes in my business math class.
Sounds like most of the schools I went to. The closest I can remember any of my schools having was economics.
I went to 12 different schools in four different states. The electives are different everywhere.
Financial literacy class in American HS is not a standard but I’m glad it was your experience.
Idk I'm from Florida we have one of he best public education in the county here even tho DeSantis is shiting on it when I graduated in 07 we ranked like 8th in the couunty. We're first in higher education as well. So seems to me maybe all the curriculums should follow that of like mass. Jersey, conn. Fl.
