Should high school curriculum be designed for those who are going to college, or those who are not? Most of the classes for kids who are not going to college are a complete waste of time and those kids ignore them.

In fact, consumer math is [i]more [/i]necessary for kids who are going to college than for those who are not, because the kids who are going to college will make more money. They need to know how to defend that higher income from big wastes of money. I know plenty of high income people (doctors, lawyers) who piss it all away. They could have benefited from that consumer math in high school.[/quote]

Having poor people understand the math of credit card payments helps a lot.  [/quote]

Heh. My mom is one of those high-income people who pissed all her money away. Not poor, at least until she couldn't work any more. But she never understood credit cards or mortgages, that's for sure. She never had a crdit card that wasn't eventually taken away by the issuing institution.[/quote]
