Don’t get me started. The last 1.5-2 weeks of my govt class is the county’s financial literacy education as mandated by the state.

We have a great fin lit class in the county course catalog but, despite being able to, the county refuses to count it as a math credit. With the state now requiring math all 4 years (only need to pass 3 years worth) students have to take algebra II (which is 80% functions) and another advanced algebra class that isn’t applicable to their life.

Now I spend part of those 2 weeks teaching about trades and non college options because no one else will.
