My kids had a required finance course. Not a mention of student loans. Even in their fake ‘home budget’, no debt except a car loan and insurance. Zero discussion of checkbook balancing, interest rates, buying a house.
What was covered? Buying groceries on your ‘fake’ income, buying tires for your fake car, and getting health insurance. My kids took it the year ACA kicked in and it took hours to try to get an insurance quote. By the way, neither ever bought insurance outside their schools/jobs.
It was a huge waste of time and my least favorite teacher either ever had in all their years of school.
