I like your attitude and your drive toward bringing about awareness of how integrated economics is as being part of our daily living, no matter where or how you live or what your position is.
What I have always found puzzling is that at least in the public schools I attended, very little schooling in this regard was ever given, especially in the lower grades - and that in spite of the fact that virtually every child, from the moment they could put a penny on the counter, was actively participating in the trading side of it!
The education system is often not about education but about programming children to live to a particular paradigm. That paradigm is mostly about educating children for the workforce rather than for life. Even the way economics is taught, it is mostly theory very limited demonstration of real life application.
Too true...and we as victims in outlying colonies literally mined by GB got an extra high dose of it..
