Agree. And sadly one of the things they stopped teaching was basic economics (not Econ 101) and personal finance. Used to be required to graduate high school. So did Civics, another missing class. This was a basic set of knowledge so kids understood what it meant to become an adult. Those classes are gone and you see what we got. I have always believed the three things that make a community are teachers, firefighters and police. Knowledge and safety.
