Starting in the 2027-28 school year....the state of California will offer a new personal finance course to high schoolers and mandate/require it for graduation beginning with the 2031 class.
I paused over the story....pondering.
It's just a one-semester course.
First, you'd have to have math-skills....to grasp the fundamentals, and I'd question if more than 50-percent of California kids can reach that level.
Second, if you get into debt management.....won't the kids ask how the cities of California, or the state....can manage a failing 'mess'?
Third, won't this be culture shock....to learn you can't afford a thousand-odd dreams?
Fourth....could Governor Newsom himself take and pass the course?
I do agree....every kid ought to get 40-hours of finance understanding.....but just wonder if the state of California can teach this.
