The article discusses the lack of financial literacy education in U.S. high schools, with only about half offering relevant courses. No national standards exist for teaching financial literacy, and there is resistance from those in power preferring an uninformed populace. Some states like Alabama and California are making strides, implementing personal finance courses and requiring them for high school graduations by 2030, but overall progress remains slow and limited.
Almost all the personal finance requirements are limited to a half credit or one credit course.
Unfortunately, the United States not only does not provide national standards, funding, or direction for financial literacy, but it has actively fought against it.
