    It won’t help. The real cause is that public school education is so severely underfunded in the US.

      It’s not funding, plenty of money gets spent on education. It doesn’t matter to kids that don’t have reinforcement that education matters. Financial literacy specifically isn’t going to help, because it’s too abstract to students that aren’t working jobs, paying rent, and buying their own food.
