I am convinced ours is the only state left in the nation that requires this type of class!!!
I'm always reading about how it should be taught in school (for the money problems), along with gym classes still needed (for the obesity problem) and I usually sit here and go "BUT IT IS" -- It's required to graduate in our state.
It's BEEN required to graduate in our state since I was in school even (tells you how effective it was since I'm in debt BUT at least I *knew* about interest rates & APR's, compounding interest and all that jazz).

I'm a (college) math tutor and just yesterday worked with a 60yo student who said her math's rusty 'cause she doesn't use it IRL!
