Masha is currently finishing up economics — a mandatory school subject. It’s one of those required subjects that you can’t graduate without. It clearly shows the difference between the economics taught in grades 10-11 of Russian schools and the economics of senior classes in the US.
The economics program in our state and county is exceptionally practical: Taxes, Insurance, Pension, Loans, Budgeting, etc. In my opinion, the program of the subject with the same name in Russian schools is extremely tedious and impractical, but it allows you to level up to a specialized economic education. So, this isn’t about good/bad or right/wrong, but simply about the difference in approaches. By the way, this applies not only to the economics class but to many others as well.
It should be noted, however, that motivated students (it just takes desire) can take the Honors economics program. It’s probably a bit more in-depth there.
