What Missouri teaches — and to whom
Missouri already requires 1 semester of personal finance for a high school diploma, a rule in force since the graduating class of 2010. That covers students still in the system. It does nothing for the adults already out of it — which, in Calverton Park, is most of the people reading this.
LearnLife organises this the way the decisions actually arrive: Emotional regulation — the self-management that decides whether the other skills ever get used; Money — budgeting, credit, debt and taxes — the mechanics nobody is formally taught; Legal literacy — leases, contracts, employment rights and what a signature actually commits you to.
