It would be cool if they added classes on top of that to explain concepts like retirement programs, health insurance, 401Ks, various tax forms, how to write a proper resume, applying for loans, how to make it in the job world, explaining what terms like "liquidity of assets", "next of kin" and all of this other jargon mean. Would be cool if my kid doesn't have to curse under his breath at 18 because his retail job NEEDS to know the monetary value of all of his liquidable assets, and he can't figure out what the hell that even means. The primary function of school should be to prepare you for adulthood. The school system has failed us, telling us college or poor are the only two choices, and we all should go to college because we're smart, or do a trade because we're not the best academically. Real life doesn't involve calculating the quadratic equation, or remembering which country we bought Louisiana from, or using words like quixotic, idiosyncratic, or pedantic. And things high school students learn are useless and teach them that learning is the equivalent of unpaid work, and to be thankful they have the opportunity to solve for X without paying. No, I think they'd be more thankful knowing how to apply for a job and make a proper resume, and how to kickstart their careers and network, for example how to find networking events within their careers, and where to look. But no, that's a chat for an anxious high school student and a guidance counselor two times per year.
