And schools (funded by government) won't explain money either, in fear of biting the hand that feeds. This means many people are unaware how their work is valued....
There are 2 ways students will learn the necessary lessons about money:
- (in a classroom setting) -- if the school system is decentralized: no secretaries/ministers of education, no chancellors, no departments of education, no government oversight, no taxpayer funds;
- (outside the classroom) -- let students work -- school-age children working today wouldn't be anything like children working in sweatshops over a century ago; at work they will put into practice the things school is supposed to teach them. Along the way they learn social skills neeeded to succeed in the real world.

Interesting points @magnacarta !
Interestingly there's been a significant increase in #1 (and not only due to covid, I'd wager.)
And #2 has sort of been an option too, not that many parents choose to have their child apprentice or learn a trade or start a side hustle.
I guess we'll see how things play out in the future! :) 🙏
