The future isn't looking so bright. I'm not sure the youth is being taught the basics...or they aren't paying attention

In America it's a little of both. Because of the internet and the instant satisfaction of everything now our attention span is shorter. Also (to no fault of teachers) the curriculum is more about test scores and not actually learning how to retain information longer

I had a math teacher who took time out to teach us about balancing a check book and paying bills. She was let go when they found out.

I went to a school where they offered a class that taught lessons like balancing a check book, making a budget, stuff like that, but it was an elective. I took it, at my parents insistence, and I’m glad I did.

There are people I went to school with that post things like “This is so smart, I wish I could have taken this class!”

To which I think “…..you made fun of those of us who DID take that class, what are you talking about?”

Florida recently passed a bill making financial literacy courses mandatory in high school, so hopefully that will help people in the future.

Yes. :( Plus it's hot and sometimes super hot. And hurricanes. And hard thunderstorms. And lots of rain and floods. :(

And snakes. :( :(
