Having said that my school was not bad and if you wanted to learn about this sort of thing it was available to learn.

Back when I went to high school college track students took theoretical math like Calculus and Trig, and the non-college track took commewrcial math.

Yep that I would say that is true my experience. For some reason they considered those that were going onto Poly or Uni did not need to learn how to balance their budgets or read a gas meter. Short sighted I think and often leads to those in academia being far removed from the real world.
