If you can do that at the college level, why not at the high school, junior high level.

True, but the more I listen/read/think about this topic, the more I realize that money fights aren’t really fights about money. They’re fights about differing values. “ Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” as the bible says.
As an aside, this is why I also think separating finances doesn’t save you from fights. You’re simply going to have those fights some other way.

quote:in court -most custody arrangements are settled out of court
Women get custody around 80-90% of the time.
And men who fight for primary custody usually get it.
So the statistics say one thing, reality says another.

I would be happy to be a case study. I’ve made millions over the last 20 years. Little to show for it. Because I was married with four children.

Talk to my kids about it and show them what a functional marriage looks like by living it.
No, that's not what you said.
You said if more fathers talked to their kids. You taking to your kids doesn't solve that issue.

Stop expecting school to teach kids everything
You may have missed my post above. I'm the one who doesn't expect the state to teach kids anything.

I listed half a dozen significant benefits.
Why would you ask me that when I've already answered it?

If only there were parents to teach kids about life decisions.

If you have parents that stay on top of the kids, like extremely involved, it’s great.
Guess what?
That's the same rule for the system we have now.
Children don't learn without parental involvement as it is. That's why we are facing a literacy crisis in the country right now. 20% of high school graduates (not drop outs) are functionally illiterate. Over half the adult population of the country reads below a sixth grade level. Right now, with compulsory mass public education.
You can make children go to school but you can't make them learn. But when children with uninvolved parents are there with other children, they keep the other children from learning and they burden the system.

You have to be incredibly self disciplined and motivated to succeed.
Not really. My kids had about 10 times the amount of homework we had growing up and I expect that educational trend has done nothing but continue. If the school expects them to do 3 hours of homework a day on their own, why can't they expect them to do three hours of schoolwork a day on their own.
People want to harumph about teaching children certain things being parent's responsibility until you really confront them with doing that. Then, not so much.

Also, it’s INCREDIBLY easy to cheat using AI.
Sure it is. Until you get to the midterm and final, which would be given on paper in the same facilities that housed the tutors and labs.
Cheat on the quizzes all you want. You're just going to fail the midterm and final if you do. What better way to learn that lesson?

How about let’s not rely on an incompetent government entity (schools) to educate us about life? Where were your parents/family to educate you on matters?
You think if the schools had educated you, it would have changed your mind about getting married when you did?

General finance and economics would work wonders but it teaches them a little too much.
Can have exclusive clubs if everyone knows all the tricks right?

What are the responsibilities of Parents? Oh, I'm sorry. You mean the ones who don't have parents.
Schools feed them and teach them the fundamentals of an education.

As noted the Catholic Church has a mandatory pre cana class for couples wanting to get married in the Church. It covers everything listed here &, like here, it all sounded like a great idea. However, and this was 30+ years ago so it might have changed....most of the "classes" were taught by priests. Asked my then wife to be how a priest could educate anyone on potential sexual issues, financial issues. marital issues, etc. Was the first of many subsequent arguments I lost with her. But it does depend on who is doing the teaching.
