A short YouTube monologue by Catherine Bell arguing that public schooling was historically designed to produce factory and field workers, while wealthier families educated their children separately to learn business and financial skills. Bell uses this historical distinction to explain why financial literacy is generally not taught in regular schools and closes with a social-media call to action.

Why is financial literacy not taught in schools? This is actually a really fascinating subject. So if we actually go back in history and look at how and why schools were created, there were actually two different kinds of schools created. There were schools for the people who worked in the fields and the factory workers, because the factories needed the parents free time freed up so that they could be working in the factories of the field. So that's why they actually created schools. And schools were taught ultimately to create more factory workers, which is why financial literacy is not taught in schools. The wealthy would actually have their children go to another school where it would actually teach them how to actually run the businesses, which is where they learn financial literacy and all of that. So our regular school system is based on creating more factory workers. That's why it's not taught. For more information, make sure that you like and follow us.
