Change the mathematics curriculum to be more relevant to real life

What the petition asks
I would like the government to change the curriculum, so children can apply what they learn to their lives. I feel that currently, they are learning things that are not useful. I think children need to learn about real life maths e.g. mortgages, loans, debt and credit cards.
I strongly believe that the government should change the curriculum as it is not setting people up for life outside of school. I don't think children should learn things that aren’t going to help them in real life scenarios.
