Funding Future Kansas Financial Ignorance

Time Mag reveals just another way that Kansas education funding or lack thereof is keeping the next generation stupid: Why Kids in Kansas May Learn How to Shake Hands But Not How to Save and Invest

  1. Tony the Laughable once again shows his ignorance and bias. Kids coming out of Missouri school can't add or subtract, yet he thinks Kansas is keeping the future generation stupid by not including a class in something that should be taught at home anyway. No, Tony, if we wanted to keep our kids stupid we would send them to Missouri schools.

  2. To me, having a class about personal finances in school could be among the most important things kids could learn. Have it their senior year right before all of them are about to sign up for 80,000 of life-crippling student loans. But big business doesn't want young people to learn about money. Research why college has got so expensive. Other than budget cuts at the state level, it is the massive layers of administration colleges are adding. Universities are reflecting management levels of corporate America now. As absurd as the head football coaches salary is, sports are not what is driving insane tuition costs. It's not going to professors either. If anything, less is going to professors as tenure is a thing of the past and new professors are hired on as part-time employees. Nope, it's going to worthless employees just like you have at your work and this is on purpose. Driving up costs is beneficial to corporate America. You know who makes the best employees? Broke employees. Massively in debt employees. They don't talk back, they don't question authority, and they don't quit. They are terrified at all times because they have zero savings and if they lose one paycheck they are screwed. So of course they don't want a bunch of high school kids getting a clue about how bad they are about to screw themselves into signing up for a bunch of debt they are too young and inexperienced to really understand. They want to keep kids ignorant.

  3. My 55+ year old work mates and their 30 year old managers who control the yearly bonus are feeling the heat. 30 year olds are broke; massive school loans, new 5000 sq ft house, two new cars, expensive jewelry make good looking slaves. They don't talk back. They don't question authority. Your day eaten up with meetings that go no where. Every idea that comes out of their mouth is golden. Can't balance a checking account or manage their 401K. Some have 100% invested in company stock.
    Experience, time management, and problem solving are replaced with keeping their facebook page current. This is no joke.
