I wish everyone had a math teacher like I had in 7th grade. He created a little town in his classroom every year for a semester and everyone had jobs to do. And one of the lessons we were taught was stocks, I was assigned to be the stock broker and though everything was "Mock" I did really well. So I apply those skills to my life now and am still doing fairly well. And you are right too many things we should learn about in school we don't learn.
