We live in a very polarized political environment but I think we can agree that our health is our number one priority and after that it's probably about money. Unfortunately, our school system does nothing to give us an understanding of how to be healthy or how to build wealth or even balance a budget.
Even worse, school lunches still lack real nutritional value and are often frozen and processed. Physical education is also put on the back burner, even though childhood obesity continues to rise.
I propose mandatory health and nutrition courses as well as a financial literacy course with a required test to graduate high school. Today's generation faces high student loans, excessive mortgage rates and uncertain retirement pension systems.
It’s important we teach them the value of budgeting, saving and investing. Currently we are failing to prepare our children for the real world, thereby planning for them to fail. We can change this and set them on a path for proper health and wealth decisions.
