Some kids don't have parents - or parents who will take the time. There is no reason this couldn't be incorporated. Maybe it could take the place of the Art classes they've just cut in our community
Tomm - I was being factious about that part. They have recently cut all art classes due to funding, which I think is ridiculous. I do think there is room for a personal finance class though
In our high school kids do a semester of drivers training and a semester if health - they could condense all three - drivers training, health and personal finance into one year of curriculum. Each school is different. Be creative
Shelly, I know you. I didn't say I agree, but I liked the solution. I think more education to prepare young people to the reality of the society would be good. I left school many years ago and don't have children.
I'm mostly concerned about the basic understanding of credit, savings, interest etc. Too many know too little and get in trouble financially because they cannot control their personal finances.
As an accountant it's troubling to me.
