And then the whole 'how much attention do you think athletes aspiring to turn pro were paying attention in High School math?'
I could go on and on.
I would 100% support teaching basic financial skills in High School, but I'm also a realist (pessimist?!¿) that it likely wouldnt change anything.

I agree... In reality probably not as simple as it should be. I think if it was in the Math curriculum it would at the very least expose kids to the idea of investing etc. Instead of having absolutely no clue about even the most simple of principles... I suppose when it comes to pro sports perhaps agents, or the league should be encouraging new players to receive financial guidance.
