Subjects that should be taught in school...

Subjects that should be taught in school...
1. personal finance
2. active listening
3. decision making
4. attention management
5. loss

Relevant for 100% of humans at all ages.
Yet these topics are almost always explored AFTER problems emerge.

• We learn money after debt (or spending mishaps)
• Listening after conflict
• Decisions after regret
• Attention after burnout
• Loss after life rearranges us

No one waited until I needed Calc-2 to teach it to me.
But for the skills that shape our entire lives, we wait until the damage is done.

Yes, it's a natural place for parents to step in.
But most don't, because no one taught it to them either.

"Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets."

How long will we hope for better outcomes, before we redesign the inputs?
