It has been taught, you weren't listening during math/economy classes dipshit

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I have never heard of an economy class in high school. And our math teacher did a tiny thing on compound interest in general when we finished a quiz early.

So I don't know what school you went to but it wasn't the normal one.

the normal one.

Apparently, not being American (I'm guessing) is considered "not being normal".

I went to an American public school that taught economics. We also had a project for building a household budget.

The county I grew up in was a little bougie, which rather explains it all.

Well no. I freely admit I'm posting about the absolute slop that is American public education.

This is what used to be taught in home economics class. Now it's just sewing and baking.

Knowing math isn't always enough to navigate the oft poorly written tax forms.

Tax forms change. And some little shit complaining "why do we have to learn percentages? Teach us something useful like how to do our taxes." would make for a better joke. And it would be more accurate.
