    This is stupid.

    In school they had us practice recorder in ghe 4th grade, ages 9/10. I took accounting in highschool, ages 16/17.

    We did both. Not only did we do both, these two lessons were taught at very different stages of education.

      Came here to say this, we also learned recorder in 4th grade. If you tried teaching 4th graders about trading securities derivatives you’d have a riot on your hands in less than 5 minutes lol.

        trading securities derivatives

        The fuck would you ever teach them that for?

        They’re 10 years old not idiots, they can learn through age appropriate skills such as budgeting and decision making - which can be made into a fun game as can almost anything you want to teach.
