And who exactly is going to be teaching these kids about investment vehicles? Their Gym teacher during his spare?
Teachers are about as knowledgeable on these topics as their students. Its not like they're largely responsible for their own retirement investments and savings either.

Maybe not to the extent of what you need to know in your early/mid 20s, but honestly, anything is better than nothing. I graduated in 2003, and I only had one life class really in Grade 10. I agree, that even then, I could have cared less, but if it was an core course that I had to do well in, then I would have paid more attention. Have a Grade 10, 11 and 12 core course to teach you just the basics. Saving, taxes, intro investing, mortgages, renting, expenses etc.
Anyhow, I'm doing that whole yelling at clouds thing. haha. I'll exit now.
