agreed that having it repeated (with more advanced topics) would be more useful. learning about this stuff at age 9... doesn't hurt, but as you starting handling money (odd jobs, after school work, etc) a whole new set of issues comes up that most people aren't prepared for.

we had 'home economics' in middle school, but only for one year, IIRC. We learned a bit of cooking, kitchen safety, and some sewing. But, AFAICR, no personal/home finance stuff (but it's been > 30 years - perhaps it was there and I missed the 8 minute lecture?)
