The goalposts were that "school doesn’t teach you (not even high school) is how to manage your personal finances." is a myth. It doesn't matter if there's no class or the class is useless, the statement is almost as true in either case. Students don't learn personal finance in school. They particularly don't learn practical investment as a way to manage their savings.
And for many of us, financial education, if there was any, was probably from boomers going "debt bad! credit bad! get a job and make money!".
I guess that depends on how you read up the thread.
Seems pretty clear to me that the comment I was originally replying to was about whether there was a requirement for financial classes in the US, not about the quality of the classes.
So we clearly weren't looking at the same goalposts.
