I have been challenged more than one time by saying schools owe the children the education to keep them out of financial hot water. And pointed out that includes goal setting and correct planning. And putting all in writing.
The economical well being of all citizens, including the youth needs to be addressed at the school level. A rigorous course in the final years of high school could easily handle the problem.
It is true that far too many citizens lack the clear understanding of those items, goal setting and planning and the value they give to all using them.
And your 'goal' that you want schools to teach kids is how to get rich.
Sorry, money is not the focus I want my kid's goal to be thru their school career. As I've written before, I'd rather they teach the actual subjects and encourage things like respect for others, social/community responsibility, financial responsibility, and following your passions and talents in order to be "make a living." I see a great distinction between making a living and getting rich.
