Rhode island makes financial literacy classes required for high school students
The more I see, the more I think we need a mandatory „Life School“ curriculum in classes. Financial literacy is just one issue, but all that stuff like media competency, scientific method, cui bono, negotiations, assertiveness, how to deal with bullies, mental health basics, economics 101, mechanics of addiction and manipulation aaaand so on, all explained by first principles, would go such a long way towards a better functioning society.<p>Then again, that‘s not going to happen as it would eventually destroy whole industries and populist voter bases.<p>I smell a non-profit I should do one day…
