It's a crying shame that public high schools do not teach basic finance, basic accounting, and how a business works.

In other words, they don't teach anything about how our economy works.

I attended 4 different public schools growing up, and none of them did. I see that some today do.

But I still see college graduates ranting on X who clearly do not understand compound interest on their student loans.
