I suppose this wouldn't satisfy Ustwo though since high school teachers don't tend to be "rich." I'm sure though that he'd be the first person to demand a tax raise so his community's adolescents can get a proper education from a wealthy person.

This thread has been going well so far, let's not get personal with it.
Anyway, the fact it is mandated doesn't mean it's executed well. Spending a week on the subject and taking a test at the end that says you can remember things from a week ago hardly demonstrates any knowledge of consumer economics. I think Ustwo's point - and the point of many people in this thread, at least regarding consumer education, is that even when it is attempted it is done poorly. At the very least it *should* be it's own class, lasting an entire semester. Frankly, I'd rather it be a class that is taken more than once - more likely to stick in that case. It is, after all, one of the most important things a student could take from high school. It's a good idea to make sure it sticks.
