Nick Perry argues schools teach conformity and rote memorization like naming planets while ignoring practical skills that build wealth: money management, credit, negotiation, and legal tax avoidance. The most valuable lessons for financial success happen outside the classroom.
The school system is not designed to make your kids successful, and deep down, we already know it. Ask permission to go to the bathroom and follow the same schedule as everyone else. That's basically prison but with less security. See, school doesn't teach your kids things that actually matter. Things like how to manage money, how to build credit, how to negotiate, or how to avoid taxes legally. Like, how is it that our kids can name every planet in the solar system but can't explain what a mortgage is? How is it that The things that took us the furthest in life were learned outside of the place made for learning.
