    I was taught about interest for loans and taxes, but only because I took a completely optional higher level economics class. Probably 95% of the students in my school never took anything like that.

      First of all love the name. If I recall my school taught us about the multiple type of banks, part of the reason I’ve only ever had credit union accounts, and a algebra class covering interest. I have to remember that I had to do work outside of class to figure stuff out. I’ve also been removed from basic education for 15 years.
