What we discovered when we went looking is that there is no textbook for a truly high-school-level Consumer Math/Financial Literacy course.

We were looking for a supplementary textbook since my daughter was taking the class at the time.

Her dad and I both regard that (at the time, required) course as possibly the single most valuble experience of our high school curricula.

It seems that there is abundant evidence that this course is needed more now than ever. How shortsighted to eliminate it. I'm appalled that the Core Curriculum (is this "common core?") doesn't see it as important.
