I’ve only said this for DECADES.

So you want us to teach an entire industry about personal finance and pay them like they’re in homeless shelters? How does that make any sense?

Honestly this is a good point. If educators have a solid foundation on the basics of personal finance, there’s a much higher chance they would pass those teachings on (understanding the value) and possibly influence lesson plans.

Probably pay teachers better too to attract and retain teachers. Teachers are under appreciated.

As an educator, I pride myself on always emphasizing that students focus on financial literacy. It's just as important as their core classes!
