You’d need people who can offer that advice - that’s not teachers in standard subjects
So are you saying some, at least, rudimentary financial advise wouldn't be helpful?
And if its on the curriculum its only been added in the last years.
It's better than setting fire to them!

Good point. But I think something should be put in place.
There's never been a more important time to be financially savvy.

Hmmm, when I did Economics it was Smith, Keynes, and indifference curves, not budgeting for a weekly shop. Seems to have changed somewhat!Well for a start you can do qualifications in Business in most schools and Economics in some

Tbf that's last few years for most of us on hereIt was announced almost a decade ago.
Well for a start you can do qualifications in Business in most schools and Economics in some. Then in PSHE personal finance is a part of the curriculum in most schools along with a whole raft of things parents should also be discussing with their kids but might not.
It just intrigues me what people think children are taught now.
Lol the business studies teachers at your school were great at how to manage finances - they were fucking clueless

As I said, it may have happened in the last few years.
My son is nearly 20, just before he turned 18 I had a chat with him about personal finance and he said he wished he'd been taught that sort of thing at school.
Of course he could of wagged those lessons, in which case he's not too old for a grounding!
I'm not one to disparage Clint Jnr, though in his defence PSHE is the most shoddily delivered of lessons in my experience. Usually because some sod gets lumped with it on top of whatever else they do and it doesn't count for anything.
Though as I said, school can't and shouldn't assume responsibility for teaching things which are sometimes best coming from parents
I agree with your last paragraph, not trying to abdicate parental responsibilities but maybe in the modern world there are some things that should be prioritised over others.
Well a typical PSHE curriculum is already pretty full with other essentials but personal finance and budgeting has been on there as long as I can remember. Though really a typical class tends to not take it seriously because there's no exam riding on it, so people just zone out. In one year I was covering British values one week, masturbation another and far right extremism the next.
Come to think of it I must have missed Johnson's stint in the DfE

‘They just seem to get working people more’

More stock on the market, but only designed to benefit a very small number. I very much doubt your mate driving aim was to provide the housing to people and more to make a very tidy profit out of it. Would it be impossible to build, or just that they wouldn't get as high a return as they wanted? And that's the problem - it should be about making sure people have places to live, not how much money can be made from doing it.
This proves the point. It's not that the parking isn't required, it's that other developments haven't had to have them. Fuck providing what the people living there actually require, what's the minimum I can get away with providing so I can make a bigger return.

Curriculum planning in a lot of schools is quite poor, for variety of different reasons.Fair enough, I've had two kids leave school in the last 10 years who claim to have had no teaching on personal finance but its not a massive stretch to think that's a failing on their behalf rather than the curriculum.
As did Right to BuyI’m still not sure how someone receiving benefits to pay their rent is going to be in a position to get a mortgage. A return of sub prime mortgages maybe, because that ended well last time.
Always did like the royalsOh Charley boy.
Looks like King of the Grifters Farage is gunning for him now….Oh Charley boy.
We're well past the point where anyone can claims these are mistakes. They repeatedly tell the complete opposite of the truth and there are no consequences but don't dare say in parliament that they are liars or you'll be kicked out.Patel is just vile. Such a vindictive, hateful woman.
Yet more desperation from The Mail - Working from home has WIDENED gap between England's rich and poor
Yeah it probably has, especially with huge fuel prices atm. That's not a reason to stop wfh of course, more a reason to try and rebalance it in some way between those who can and those who can't.I would normally disagree with the Mail but I think it probably has, take it our place our manager who earns the most works from home and saves money in travelling expenses us who are the poorest paid have to attend.

When it’s cold in the winter the wfh crew will be asking for tax breaks to help pay the extra heat and light they are using.
We get these already. Although they no longer touch the sides, much like the current HMRC fuel reimbursement rates.
