62 – Should We Teach Financial Literacy In High Schools?

It's Financial Literacy Month here in Canada and to kick it off our guest today is retired math teacher of 30 years, educational speaker and publisher, Dave Mitchell to the show to talk about whether we should be teaching financial literacy in the high school classroom. We have a back and forth discussion about whether teaching financial skills to students who won't use it for many years is productive, or whether we need to focus on teaching skepticism instead.
