I highly doubt many high school students would care or even pay attention to such a subject.

I am not saying teaching the subject in school is bad idea nor should it not be required schooling. I just think this solution is too utopic.

Keeping people financially illiterate makes a minute subpopulation of the finically literate very wealthy. In other words, I think the system, albeit vile, is working as intended (sadly).



They taught it to us (very briefly) in our Canadian high school, it was part of a mandatory course. I don't remember what it was called but the other thing I remember learning in that class was sex ed stuff.
