[quote=sdduuuude][quote=flu]Meh, it doesn’t bother me…

But I would rather have preferred our educators to have have created math assignments that read something like:

If Joe maxes out and borrows $20000 on a credit card, and makes $20 a payment each month, how many months will it take Joe to pay off his credit card debt, assuming he doesn’t borrow any more money from it?

Of course, I have a feeling that sort of math question wouldn’t be allowed, because it would be flagged as borderline “family values” that shouldn’t be taught in a public school math class…[/quote]

The irony of it, isn’t it???

On one hand, some have stated “how are the uninformed/uneducated suppose to understand/learn better money management skills and teach their kids those skills if they didn’t learn themselves?”…. But on the other hand, who is going to teach those money management skills, if money management skills can’t be taught in a public school?

Oh well, not my problem and not my kid’s problem I guess.
