I didn't see economics until college. Same for statistics.

You can prove anything you want with a carefully contructed and conducted poll.
same here... but I never took an economics class in college because I didn't stay long enough.
I think I learned the term GDP in HS just because it was a number you could show about a country. other than that, all I have learned has been thought personal research, and leisure reading.
I do know for sure my HS did not offer econimics at all, we did learn how to write a check in english class once sophmore year.
15 years now and they still do not teach it either.
