I've always thought that basic money princeples should be taught in every grade through school.... i realized after high school (where i completed calculus 2) that i knew squat about banking and personal finance!!!
I think they should teach credit card rates, borrowing "good vs bad debt", interest return over time relative to the high schoolers age, debits & credits, basic accounting in relation to personal income management, the principles of saving money over time, and even tax realities for different types of accounts.
