1) Re: 2012 House Bill 5645 (Reduce, revise high school graduation standards ) by fibro_fog on June 12, 2012I want our children to have a quality education but for some Algebra II is too difficult. How about requiring basic personal finance courses!!!! Our kids might be able to barely pass Algebra but have no clue how to stay out of debt and how to invest for their own future. They don't understand life insurance, the stock market, and don't even know what a recession is. Our priorities are messed up and this bill might help just a little to set it straight.
