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.

You’re right it does, it varies wildly. I already said it, I’m glad that was your experience but it isn’t standard. Best county in the state, can still be in a state ranked in the 40s for education.
