What Oklahoma teaches — and to whom
Oklahoma requires proficiency in 14 areas of personal finance under the Passport to Financial Literacy Act rather than a single named course; a 2024 amendment effective July 2025 requires the coursework be completed in grade 10, 11 or 12. Coverage like that varies enormously between districts, and it reaches no one who has already graduated.
LearnLife organises this the way the decisions actually arrive: 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; Emotional regulation — the self-management that decides whether the other skills ever get used.
