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.
I'm a terrible aunt E turned 17!
...a semester of Free Enterprise....taught by my English teacher....
Did she use the example from
David Copperfield
?
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen, nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
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.
