Yeah that was more or less the same with me. That's how it was done in Australia in the '80s.
But like any other Aussies here, I can't remember not knowing how to swim. It's like a Canadian not knowing how to ice skate.??
or @Let Love Lead not knowing how to haggle.Yeah that was more or less the same with me. That's how it was done in Australia in the '80s.

Well, different schools have different curriculums and different ages to drop stuff. The point of the thread isn't for me to dictate the new curriculum, it's to ask others what THEY think should be emphasised or de-emphasised. I just asked the question, I'm not the central authority.

i get it, but I think of "cooking" (beyond 'food safety and healthy choices') is more like music classes or sports...by the time you hit middle school it's an extra-curricular.
I look back at my college days and they would just put a bunch of hot chicks on campus the first day offering credit cards and you get a free t shirt for signing up.
just educating kids on the scams and tricks that are out there regarding finance would be great
Canadians are big on haggling? Australians aren't, but it's part of my extended family's national culture, so I was always taught to haggle / to challenge a bad deal.

Some of the shit that right wingers in particular post is just......... are you legit retarded? How could anyone think that's real?

Seriously, personal finance and taxation not being mandatory courses just blows my mind.
How many kids know how to file a tax return, upon completion of high-school?

Turbo Tax bro.
Sure that's great if you don't get a job in the trades as a sub contractor or sole proprietor
Or how about we teach taxation in school? It's beyond ridiculous that it isn't.
I see what you're getting at. I think some responsibility for teaching our children lies on us. I'm already teaching my son about taxation. I say "LittleOneDude what is taxation?" and he responds "THEFT!".

I get an accountant, but coming out of school who the fuck knows anything about rrsp contributions, gst/hst returns, personal returns, dividends, bonuses, capital gains coupled with all the loop holes and right offs.
Unless you have swell parents that hold your hand through life, you are set for failure right out of the gates.

Just learn to hide your money so you look broke and uninteresting to the tax police.
