  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The number of times I have to explain to people here in California that are my age that they did in fact take financial literacy, or that they were in fact taught skills like what to do during pregnancy is unfortunately too high. Tons of people like to talk about what schools need without realizing that it has it and they just didn’t pay attention.

A semester class that happened thirty years ago probably doesn't stick out in your memory beside the 20 years of Facebook memes pounding your brain like a mini gun.

A lot of people just repeat things uncritically because they've been listening to the crap on the radio or the Joe Rogan podcast or whatever for so long that it's drowned the native memories out.

Totally agreed. I have often thought the same thing when people claim that schools need to teach critical thinking skills. Mine did.
