I finished the whole thing in 4 hours. That class is a joke.
I like the concept of teaching financial literacy but am concerned about who they're going to get to teach it. The Gym teacher? Frankly, this is a subject that should be run by someone who knows what they're talking about.

I don't think a financial literacy class in high school needs to go deep into the X's and 0's of things. It needs to be just the basic stuff. Stuff like buying a new car is almost always bad. Living within you means is good. The simple fact that the second you start collecting a paycheque almost everyone you meet, including many financial "experts", does NOT have you financial best interest in mind. A would rather have a gym teacher who can convey that message than some dude from Sunlife financial give a presentation on all the high risk and low risk portfolio options or an accountant going over his month end process.
