How was your experience becoming certified in financial education? And who did you go with? I've looked at that before, but was skeptical if the certification contributed to the same problem you've outlined here.

Anecdotal evidence based on my son's experience in high school: The teacher didn't know much at all, if anything, about personal finance. In some cases, they taught material that was counter-productive, e.g., how to pick individual stocks. The broader problem, as you point out, is the lack of resources devoted to personal finance, in this case, a lack of teacher training.
