Florida school must now teach Algebra to those who are really in need of math life skills.

2. Interesting situation in our school

You have to take an Economics/Life Skills component. One option is traditional Economics which is a popular choice because it also satisfies one of the Social Studies requirements. My younger daughter was going to take it, but it resulted in a schedule conflict. She is taking Personal Finance instead which teaches those skills (credit cards, checks, investing, pay stub, etc). I am actually glad she made the change because she still can take a college Social Studies class to meet the Social Studies requirement (one she needs for nursing school anyway).

I agree everyone should have such a course. Few college prep students take the course though.
