It is crazy that kids graduate high school and have never been taught about a checking account, debit card or credit card interest rates in 2022. The system needs to evolve in this area.
Georgia has a financial literacy requirement for graduation.

That’s true of every course that’s taught. But just because some do not take advantage of the offered information doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be offered.
Since I was in high school (more than a couple of years ago
), some amount of basic finance was offered in math and accounting courses. Having a standalone curriculum in the subject just makes good sense to me. Not having basic informational courses defeats the whole purpose of mandatory K-12 education.
