What the petition asks
I believe schools should teach more practical life skills like budgeting, taxes, loans, and mortgages to better prepare students for adulthood, instead of focusing on topics that may be rarely used in daily life.
I believe many students spend years learning topics that they rarely use in everyday life. I believe the curriculum should include more practical skills that students will need as adults, such as mortgages, taxes, budgeting, interest, and insurance to better prepare them for life beyond school and education.
