I consider which schools should learn personal financial since it is something you ALL use. I have never used Beolulf or any lituarture review in school. Maybe no a single told me because it is so improtant.

I never learned about Shakesphere and I turned out just fine. And what about Algebra for that matter? lol
I think *both* are important. Shakespeare teaches about abstract thought, disciplined poetry, love, humanity, hate, guilt- all things that are very useful to talk about and study. Yes, personal finance need to be up there on the list, too!
i don’t mind the actual shakespeare, it’s actually kind of enjoyable
so are the poems and novels and the stuff of english that require you to use your imagination.
but as for going into an exam, or for homework, and writing out loads of shite about the relationship between Romeo and Mercutio and how that affected the overall plot of the play or how justice is important to Scout etc….
it’s awful
it serves no purpose at all
the only use i’ve found since sitting the exam for that stuff is helping someone on YA with the same stuff.
and in my country we learn our native language too, as it’s been driven to near-extinction by the english. but instead of learning how to read, write and speak the language, we do poems and stories in it, thus allowing us to leave school not knowing a word of it. and the government are wondering why it’s going extinct……
I agree. My sister is an English professor.
We have this argument all the time.
Both are important for a well rounded Education , English Lit gives you an appreciation for Literature . Personal Finance is Very Important , you would not believe the people I know that can not balance a check book , when I was in the Military I had a young troop whom I was his reporting Sgt , He bounced 5 checks , He had to attend a Finance Class when I asked him why He bounced the Checks He told me He did not know how to balance a Check Book . He was 20 years Old .
