Learning about how to add money, subtract money, writing a check, balancing a checkbook (or in general, a bank account) were all part of learning when I went to elementary school and even into part of middle school. Granted we weren't taught the finer points of money, but we were given an inside on how to do some things related to money and how to check our balances and keep track of our spending. The schools really don't do anything like that anymore outside of a little math that touches on adding/subtracting of money. Checks are almost non-existent anymore and for those that don't use checks they certainly aren't balancing their check book or bank accounts.....they just log into their account quick and see it has X amount of dollars in it.
Some of these schools are more hooked on trying to teach kids there are a bajillion number of genders and why everyone is special and why there are no winners instead of teaching kids stuff they'll actually need to know for the real world. All those life experiences they will learn as they grow up, from their peers and parents. The schools don't need to be teaching any of that $hit. Stick to the three Rs; Reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic.
