Ehhh, that’s a little too conspiratorial for me. While I agree they aren’t going to teach you how badly you’re going to be fucked as an adult, nor encourage true critical thinking, I think for things like financial literacy it’s more due to the school system being under funded.

Personally, I’m not a fan of the current public education system at all, and would like to see it restructered from the ground up along the lines of Ferrer schools.
