Although money is said to make the world go round, educators rarely get to teach the subject in schools. Teachers responded that their students need instruction on how to save, how to borrow, and how to plan for the future.
Many also wrote about the need to teach overarching life skills (perhaps, as one reader suggested, in a class called Taking Care of Myself 101). Other readers wrote of reviving lost subjects, such as handwriting and Latin. Speaking for many educators, one reader responded, "Manners, but we don't have enough time as it is, so please don't add anything else."
