Guest[quote=flu]There’s plenty of people that don’t share your viewpoint and if you were to TEACH the subject matter that borrowing at 20%APR on a credit card is BAD, there is probably some J6P that doesn’t think that’s the case and there probably some other person who knows it’s bad but can’t help it for whatever reasons.[/quote]
The problem with right-wing folks is that they are afraid of their kids contradicting them through learning in school.
They want to keep their kids narrow-minded just like them.
Right-wing parents blow gaskets when their kids come home and tell them about something that is contrary to the parents’ beliefs or behavior.
Imagine a boy coming home from school and asking his right-wing dad about gay marriage (a current topic of debate). The dad would start fuming and cussing. Next thing you know, the next morning, he’ll be confronting the teacher in the schoolyard.

Participant[quote=Shadowfax] . . . I think life skills would be a nice 1 or 2 session course, an elective in high school–something multidisciplinary with elements from math, science and health. I am not advocating that it should be required. It would be nice though to have it presented in an organized way. (Maybe the credit card interest can be covered in one lesson in a math class–math applied to the real world.) And, like any other subject, it should be inclusive, so you can present what a credit card is, what interest is, what a savings account or investment account is and run some scenarios. Show what happens when you pay it off in full and show what happens when you only pay the minimum. Then let the kids decide. You are making this too extreme to be a coherent argument, flu. Just present the schools of thought and let reasonably intelligent, almost-adults come to their own conclusions.[/quote]
Exactly, Shadowfax. Well said!
