Genuine question to those at MSE: How many more threads are you going to make on this topic? Why not just update the other ones so as to try to keep all the discussion (which is all on the same topic) in one place?0

From the article:-Earlier this week, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Financial Education for Young People, which has the support of 226 MPs and Peers, issued a report calling for compulsory money lessons . . .

226 MPs and Peers, with one of them being Balls. With 650+ MPs alone this does not look well supported. Shall we assume that parliament is just not interested in this and the 'magic' 100,000 petition which caused the debate is a bit of an irritation to our representatives?0

I don't know why MSE doesn't petition parents. Afterall it is THEIR responsibility to ensure their 'little darlings' receive a decent education. But it's easier for the parents to blame the school when their kids leave school not knowing their three R's.0

It is more likely that the kids will be financially educating their parents in the future, I think.:).Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
