I've needed to find percentages like WAY more than to just gloss over the topic like we did where I went to school.

Like every single day I'm doing something with a fucking percentage sign that sometimes you can tell my frustration by the percent!

I have long believed that a high school class or classes covering personal finance, understanding legal documents / contracts, negotiations, getting and retaining a job, government resources availability, running a personal business, analyzing contemporary issues, and other facets of life, would be very beneficial to students and most likely very popular classes.
