    I have never heard of an economy class in high school. And our math teacher did a tiny thing on compound interest in general when we finished a quiz early.

    So I don’t know what school you went to but it wasn’t the normal one.

      the normal one.

      Apparently, not being American (I’m guessing) is considered “not being normal”.

        I went to an American public school that taught economics. We also had a project for building a household budget.

        The county I grew up in was a little bougie, which rather explains it all.

        Well no. I freely admit I’m posting about the absolute slop that is American public education.
