Always Anti-fascist!
I sort of did take a class like that, but I took it because I was hopeless at math. So, it was, like, me and the pregnant girls and people that came back after juvie and that kind of stuff. as suburban as I grew up, I expected that they'd be a lot different than me, but maybe just their plans were not as big--well, we see how that worked out on my end, huh? Since I was, you know, practically starting from zero, or maybe minus 2, I learned a fair bit about finances there, whether it was objectively a good class or not, but I don't think that was the most important thing I got from being there.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Thanks, all!
I did an independent study econ class my senior year, where I had to write a 1-page paper on some academic economics topic. The regular class did more like the stock market game. Pretty sure I got the better end of that deal.
I continue to think we need a 1 semester Highest School for, like, 23 year olds, for all the "we told you this 5 years ago, but you didn't believe us. But now you've thrown out your back a couple times and fucked up with credit cards and done your taxes, so let's go back over it now you get that it's important" stuff

We just had a semester of Free Enterprise that I do not remember one single thing from. I think it was taught by my English teacher but that is all I can recall and I could be making that up.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...a semester of Free Enterprise....taught by my English teacher....
Did she use the example from David Copperfield ?

Also Deber the "boodididies" sounds so cute. I love kids words when they are trying leaning language and learning new words and coming up with their own versions.

I had economics 2nd semester of my senior year. We were supposed to do some project but about half way through the teacher just kind of forgot. He was also the head football coach so he was trying to get as many guys into colleges as we could.
We were a really small school, only 93 seniors my year. So the high school history teacher was also the track coach and one of the math teachers was ...some kind of coach.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
