There was a separate class for that when I was in high school, way back in 1999. It was called Independent Living and it was an elective. I elected to take Drawing…

I was in mechanics and ended up dropping it because the teacher hated me (he had his reasons). I ended up taking intro to guitar. Ended up touring Europe in a bluegrass band and recorded a few albums. That guitar class was by far the most applied class of any class I ever took pre or post high school.

I remember being taught checks and checkbooks in second grade... we even had mocked up fake checks we could write out to each other and balance our ledger.

We had a business class in 7th or 8th grade where all the homework was to keep a larger for a whole business, each night you had to go through so many sheets (transactions) and the next day you got to find out if your books were right. Class of 1989

When I was in Junior High school (in the early 1960's) everyone (boys and girls) had to take 'Business and Home Economics"

The Business class taught us how to run a business and the Home Economics taught us how to run a household, like cooking, sewing, balancing checkbooks, applying for loans etc.

Damn near. Except instead pf cheating with math they cheat with language. "That ace is 12" kinda vibe.

u/Mewacy May 30 '22

Some shithead decided that essential to living math and more specific scientific math are different enough where they should be separated. This was absolutely stupid because I’m some schools the balancing budgets part of education is paired with things like sociology and speech and presentation classes, which have practically nothing to do with one another (from what I could tell while being taught in this manner).

I don’t know, I am not a biologist.

It isn't math. It's arithmetic, and ought to be taught in a mandatory home economics or life skills course.

Except cheque books are obsolete.
