I have left school now and am studying towards a degree at university but I know a lot of schools don't offer textiles or food and nutrition classes anymore which I think is disgusting. The amount of saturated fats and salt in ready meals is terrifying and people don't understand this because they don't have access to that sort of education.
Whilst we have the choice of whether or not we rent or buy a house I think it is still important to teach these things in schools so that people can make an informed decision for their adult life. I knew about debit and credit cards but we also learnt about when purchasing for holidays you sometimes get some insurance when paying with a debit card, which I would never have known if I hadn't taken this class.
