I totally agree with you SH.

I think every high school senior should take a class which includes a mock checkbook, income and bills. In the midst of that, they should learn how to make their dollars work, how to invest, how the credit system works, how to plan for retirement and what it takes to purchase a home.

Maybe they have something similar....but they probably teach it in such a boring way....few get anything out of it. It SHOULD be the most important class a kid takes. Nothing they accomplish will matter financially if they don't have the foundational skills to make their money work for them.
