My kids high school requires it, but its not statewide.
But then again, our kids are from a republican bastion in the deep blue state of MA.
Dave Ramsey’s course would work too.
Furthermore, if there is any racial inequality in failure rates it will be deemed racist. It requires some math, right?
GOOD! perhaps it will keep them from signing up for loan packages from private colleges that will indebt them for decades. But I have a feeling its their dumb parents who keep cosigning for everything... who are at fault.
More States Are Starting to Require High School Students to Take Financial Literacy Courses

Half of Congress would never pass such a course. I’m being generous.
What?? Another white supremacists rule. Students are too busy studying gender classifications, CRT and diversity courses to be bothered by this. There’s only so much time in a classroom day.
before jimmy carter and his federalized education system, there were the ‘business curriculum’, which in some states started with junior high and carried through high school.
nowadays, since check writing, and associated practices are not taught, and with the debit/credit card ease of use and ease of nonchalance over the user’s account, and where formulated mathematics is no longer dogma, this would be a good thing.
Stop giving HS students money and making them earn it would be the best and most meaningful crash course in financial literacy.
I remember that too. My school called it Business Math, I think. It was very beneficial for doing math in the real world.
The need to bring back “Civics” so students can actually learn what’s in The Constitution.
The devil is in the details. Liberals could teach kids taxes are good, rich people are selfish, and it’s white people’s fault that minimum wage jobs don’t pay for an upper middle class lifestyle.
“I never understood why they don’t teach compound interest in math.”
You skipped that day!
