Working with Teens: Teaching Personal Finance on a High School Level by Weakonomics.com
Should schools start teaching personal finance? Come to think of it, which skill are more important for life beyond high school: understanding the intricacies of fiscal and monetary policies, the ballance of payments, and profit maximization rules? Or how to balance your own checkbook?
"There are plenty of subjects that can’t get crammed into a course in just a year or half-year. They are no less important, but require the basic knowledge taught here before they can be understood. Insurance is a big one, and though taxes are touched on, they need their own class! Maybe someday a curriculum could be established. If you know of any schools the require this already, let me know. If your kid’s school doesn’t, talk to the teachers and principals about a class."
