In class all we get is a basic understanding of what insurance and rent means but we have no understanding of what that means and how we can reduce our expenses as well as the impact upon our environment... We only really did a quick read through refencing to the Great Depression however... that is nowhere nere suffecient... please help schools like Hockinson High School actually teach us something we WILL need to survive in the modern world!

I have listened to Robert Kiyosaki and I think the guys is a financial symbol of perfection... His book "Rich dad, Poor dad" should be required reading for our personal finance class. In English we are reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Which is an important peice of literature but it does not excuse the fact that we put five or six coke machines in the halls when our science books are old and our classes are ineffecient let alone aquadate. As a future citizen of the United States of America I hereby submit that we should have "Rich dad, Poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaki made a state if not national required reading book for a personal finance class.
