Should basic law and personal finance classes be required in high school?

[Former President tack50]

No.

I would not be too opposed to personal finance classes being mandatory (or something like a super basic introduction to economics). However while it is something that most people would benefit from, it should not be completely mandatory, there are otehr classes that are arguably more important.

And like Ernest said, law is just a subset of civics. I do favour having a civics class being mandatory but law is probably too specialiced. I also do favour having a very basic government class as well so people know the political system though that can also be introduced as part of a social studies class.
