Prop 13 you fucking idiot
Was it written in the proposition about property taxes that financial literacy would no longer be taught in California schools?
Prop 13 you fucking idiot
I think we have a fair number of posters on the board who are parents. I'm curious how many of you spent much time with your children on financial literacy? I'm not asking this in a way that if you say you didn't it would imply you are/were bad parents even though the question definitely comes across as such. I don't mean to ask it in that way.
I thought my parents were great overall. From a financial perspective they helped me set up a checking account in high school but didn't really talk about finances with me other than that.
your faction does NOTHING but try to defund schools.
stop fucking lying
Desh, was it written in Prop 13 that financial literacy would no longer be taught in schools?
your party works diligently to keep our schools fucked up
You hate education and having it properly funded
prop 13 dude.
It was before your time
Did they teach financial literacy in California schools prior to Prop 13? Did they stop teaching it after Prop 13 passed?
Ok. So even though education tends to be dominated by liberals it's this vast plan by the 'right-wing' to not teach financial literacy?
Desh how did Arnold kill financial literacy in California? I went to high school in Oakland from '87 - '91 and they didn't teach financial literacy. That was well before Arnold's time.
this is what I said you distractosaurous
I would like to see proof it is dominated by liberals, thanks.
I don't think that is the case in Texas or Kansas and I know in this red state that conservatives are much more prevelant, but these are the states I am most familiar with their systems. I can see California being dominated by liberals, but Mississippi and Missouri, I don't think so.
This is getting away from the financial literacy aspect but I was talking with my partner at work who has a son in 10th grade. He said his boy gets out of school at 3, does cross country until 5, does homework from 5 to 8, dinner with the family for an hour, and then homework from 9 to 11. This is his daily routine. He said his son doesn't have time to listen to music, watch TV, talk to his friends etc. He thinks it's way too much.
My (work) partner said he's taking an AP History class and the teacher said there will be two hours of homework each night. I think he said his son had five classes total. Can you imagine if each class said that?
So part of me likes that this kid is having to work hard but part of me is thinking there is more to life and more to being a teenager than spending five hours a night doing homework every day including weekends. What do you others think?
