Lmao. You think kids are going to be any more interested and pay more attention in a financial literacy course than they are about arbitrary math problems. I have some bad news for you about finance. It's full of math.
Except that personal finance (which of what I'm referring to) is mostly arithmetic, while high school (and a good chunk of middle school) math is mostly algebra.
The moment letters come into the equation (no pun intended) is when you start to lose me. And its usefulness on a day-to-day basis.
Sorry but financial literacy requires more than 5+5. And if you can't understand the concept of a variable there are more problems then the course work here.
