I don't know the ont curriculum, but I agree with credit cards, loads, RRSP's being taught.. What they are, how they work, positives/negatives, invenstments, interest rates, cost of borrowing etc.. I am guessing interest % rates are curriculum for sure..
You can teach the very basics of math using these things as well.. and like I said, IMO I think its good.
I HIGHLY doubt teaching crypto is curriculum though.. its just too new.. And there's no way curriculum would say it will replace all money and is the future.. Curriculums are never opinion based, well in theory they are not supposed to be.. yes they teach "theory" when it comes to science such as "theory of evolution, theory of relativitely etc".. but these are theories that are very strong and science didn't have the means to prove them 100%.
Racism and clinate change are curriculum here.. But if you read the curriculum and understand it, its very fact based and not opinion.. some ppl take it upon themselves to teach their own opinions and teach them as facts and not their own opinion.. and that's bluntly wrong.
Climate change for example is sort of in our gr 7 curriculum.. I say sort of, because all it really goes into is how carbon is released when you burn fossil fuels and higher amounts of atmospheric carbon create the gren house effect.. All of this is true in every way shape and form, however our curriculum does not go beyond that to push an agenda. I do take it a bit furhter and expain to students nearly everything on earth is made of carbon and trees for example are carbon sinks. They can pull carbon from the atmosphere and store it in extremly large quantities. Infact, plants neeed atmospheric carbon to produce their energy to grow.. I don't ;go down the rabbit hole past that, but I present facts.. I will say that cutting down the worlds foressts without a regrowth plan contributes to higher atmostpheric carbon so we need to be aware of that. I will say I have a wood stove, which releases carbon into the air, but I also am burning trees which are allowed to regrow after I harvest them to pull the carbon form the air..
I really enjoy going over this stuff with kids, but keep it to the facts as they are presented.
From someone on the inside.. I can confirm beyond words the school system right now is in an awful state in many ways. We know the best way to build a better world is through the education of our children at home and at school. It isn't hapening very well at either at this point in history.
What you see at work is what I see everyday.. and I do everything I can to not let it happen in my room, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do if a student/parent figures out that I actually have zero power to make their kids do anything. Principals and school boards and superintendants back down..
