Stupid brain thought that said exports and I was seriously impressed that today's kids were predicting international trades and markets for elective classes now.

It would be great to have an opportunity to teach students about real world economy. My Calculus teacher who used to be CPA, after finishing our AP test, had few days that he taught us about credit score and limit, interest rates, personal/car/home loans, and tax. I probably learned more useful information about real world from him than 4 years of high school.

Those kinds of teachers are the best. I had an English teacher, notorious for being a hard ass. But one day he took the entire class period to discuss IRAs and saving in general, as well as other financial information. He truly gave a shit about his students. Definitely changed the way I saw him.
