vampire | Does the current education system educate you to handle money? |

judging by the sad state of personal finance in the U S, I would have to say the answer is an emphatic NO. |
|

No, and for a reason.
The system works by having the majority enslaved by personal debt. It is not in the interests of the powers that be to have people able to achieve financial freedom. |

I wound up taking AP Economics in High School which was essentially Macroeconomics 101 and didn't really touch on stocks at all. Oddly enough I think the non honors course did include at least a little basic information about investing (the kids did the whole pretend you have a 100k stock portfolio for six weeks contest) but in general no, we didn't get much basic financial literacy education. |

Not usually.
We need a basic life course in checking accounts, credit cards, certificates of deposit, budgeting for expenses, saving, insurance, etc. How much can I afford with my salary, what can I do to minimize taxes, etc. |

yes, briefly in grade school and optional courses in high school in most states. |

No, not through high school, I think it would be a good idea to add something like that.
In college you need to chose that path and be a finance or accounting major...but even then this is not dealing with you everyday finances. |

Unfortunately not.
The people who know how to handle money effectively most often end up in higher paying jobs than teaching. As such teachers themselves tend to be poor managers of their own money. So how can they teach our children?
Handling money has been relegated to a parental education process. We tend to learn those skills from our parents. |

College yes. Only because I have an excellent mathematics professor.
High School. Yes, however, when teaching you formulas that can be used to calculate auto insurance payments most instructors do not take the time to explain that the specific formula can be used that way. Or what the formula is used for period.
In any case, I went to a private high school. I have no idea if the public school system educated on the same things. I can only assume so. |
