School Responsibilities

I dug into this a bit more and from the official Florida government website, this bill passed unanimously with all Yeas and no Nays in both the Senate and the House. It'll be a 0.5 credit class starting next school year. Seems like a great idea if nothing like this was already taught as part of a required course. I'll have to ask my boys, but I don't remember them taking any class like this in high school, with the oldest getting some financial literacy from an accounting elective.

I hope they teach the woes of student loans. 18 year-olds can sign for multiple student loans loans and place themselves 100K in debt, but never have to show the ability to repay. If you apply for a mortgage at 18, which you can do, the first thing that must be demonstrated is the ability to repay that loan
