Will there ever be financial education in our schools?
The answer is no.
Traditional education, as we know it today, was designed in the industrial Age by John D. Rockefeller, when he founded the General Board of Education in 1903.
Rockefeller relied on the Prussian system to teach a system that manufactures two types of people: soldiers and employees, that is, people who merely obey orders and never question authority.
Traditional education aims to turn the poor into part of the middle class: Workers like engineers, lawyers, doctors, accountants or administrators; people who are limited to working in the companies and corporations of the rich.
If you want to learn how to be rich, create big corporations and companies, the education system will ever teach you how to achieve it. It wasn't designed for that. It was designed to keep your mind in the rat race.
It was designed to keep you enslaved and live in poverty.
True education is reserved for the sons and daughters of the elites; for the rest, the most convenient is a mass education that teaches them to develop tasks for the rich and the government but does not teach them to question the status quo and authority.
The school system has fulfilled its obligation to provide a steady flow of employees and soldiers; People who are looking for a job, work for the big corporations of the rich and defend the government manipulated by the rich.
The world needs educated workers.
The world doesn't need educated slaves.
The school focuses on the last category.
The same way you can teach to obey a dog with croquettes, you can teach a human being to obey and work hard all his life for money.
In fact, the school has been doing this last quite well for over a hundred years.
