Sydney mum Connie Scully says her daughter Bianca, who turned 16 last week, "has no idea" about money, and schools should be teaching students basic financial skills instead of higher-level algebra.
"They're taught maths and algebra well, but I don't see the point of that," Mrs Scully said. "You should be teaching them about finances and loans so when they come out, they know how to do stuff."
