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.

If you are smart enough to know what you arent getting in school and do nothing about it, then you are an idiot.
Blaming the school for an inadequate education is akin to blaming yourself for doing nothing about it.
Go to an employer or prospective client and make such excuses and you wont be very successful in life. The best lesson in life is to learn how to learn.
