Yep, simple finances class should be required in HS, I mean, it’d take an hour to cover this stuff, they could stretch it out for a semester...

### REPLY:
They are. I went to a pretty crappy school and we did basics on checking accounts, budgeting, setting up a business, how stocks (not options) mainly work. We even did a paper account for most of the semester do get a gist on how trades work. The only problem is 15-18 year olds don't want to learn about things that don't affect them in the immediate future.
