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 you need much expertise to teach the basics.
Something like the Financial Order of Operations is about as deep as you need to go. The math is all covered in grade 10 math. The tax implications for low income people of using an RRSP instead of a TFSA really isn’t that important. Explaining progressive taxation should be able to be done by any competent person.
What would you like taught that you think needs an expert to teach at the high school level. We don’t get physicists to teach physics or Mathematicians to teach math. We get teachers trained in teaching with exposure to to subject to teach classes. There is no reason a well designed curriculum isn’t best delivered by someone who knows how to teach.
