For what it’s worth, as someone who graduated highschool in Utah (one of the shittest US states in terms of funding and education) I learned the recorder in Elementary school and was required to take a financial literacy class in highschool to graduate. True, that class taught now-useless skills like how to write a check, but it also taught me about 401Ks/Roth IRAs, how to file taxes, managing credit scores and lines of credit, mortgages and debt, budgeting, and a bunch of other skills besides. I’m not sure how standard this is across the US, but I can’t imagine it’s too uncommon given that it was a shitty small town high school in a deep red state. Hell, I’ve seen memes like this posted by people who graduated in my year and it always perplexes me because I know for a fact they had to take that class.
The number of times I have to explain to people here in California that are my age that they did in fact take financial literacy, or that they were in fact taught skills like what to do during pregnancy is unfortunately too high. Tons of people like to talk about what schools need without realizing that it has it and they just didn’t pay attention.

They did teach us financial literacy.
If you found it important as a reasonably intelligent adult you could teach yourself basic financial literacy in an afternoon.

Pleasant memories. The asshole next to blew as hard as he could point blank to my ear. Fuck I hate those things.
I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.
No ragerts.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know of any 1st grade classes teaching financial literacy, nor high school classes focusing on how to play a recorder.
I did have a few weeks that focus on domestic finances in 8th grade. That almost nobody paid attention to. So there's at least one school that did both 20 years ago...

Education should inform us how to least get fucked by the state and capitalism.

Guitars are very hard to play for kids because the strings are so thin that they hurt after very few minutes.
That’s a better reason.
Indeed. The scheme for guitar could literally not be easier.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I had math, history, science, and English class with Spanish or French (one foreign language). None of those taught me anything as useful as your class.

I agree. A lot of people don't know where to start, though. And there is a lot of bad information out there.

You mean like teaching children the basics of musical theory and practice so they learn they can to enjoy life and create art without paying for it?

Or like how to have enough money for food, shelter, and other essentials.

Obviously it's impossible to do both.

Obviously children have a finite amount of time to study without impacting their own agency too much.
