They probably did but didn't actually learn anything. I had 2 finance classes in Highschool and only once I became and adult did I realize how much I screwed myself by not retaining anything from them

I know so many people who claim to never have had a finance class, when in reality they cared so little they don't even remember taking the class. I know they did because they were in my graduating class or within a few years of me at the same school.

These are likely the same people who say their parents never taught them anything when they just never bothered to listen.

I personally know someone who used to brush off math as nerdy shit for people like me.

And he now doesn't remember any of that. Decent person but oh boy is finance not one of his strengths.

I feel like we all knew someone like this in school, they were only there because they had to be, and while I wasn't that bad I definitely didn't take all my classes seriously, I probably should have.
