Teach our kids financesForum Discussion for Teach our kids finances This should definitely be taught in school and they should start it as early as possible. Submitted by Wesley S. on Thu, 04/03/2008 - 05:45
I just saw a program about how many people don't realize how to budget or handle money when they grow up. Randy H's petition is a good idea. How to manage money should be taught in school so kids know when the grow up the danger of debt and the importance of saving. Submitted by Casey P. on Mon, 03/31/2008 - 04:19
they need to get back to really educatting our kids in all areas, not just finances. the same could be said for history, sex ed and the classics...wouldn't they be better off with a well-rounded renaissance education teaching many topics in many areas than the cut & dry bought systems they're feeding our kids now.

Kane... we do not really teach much in health anymore. what you and I were taught is no longer there. It is another issue that I need to post. Submitted by Kane B. on Tue, 11/27/2007 - 11:54
I have been saying this for years. It should be required! Give them the basic understanding of how to manage their finances once they leave high school. Many kids go right into the workforce and have not idea of how to manage their money, budget or even save. We spend a lot of time teaching health! Why not finance?

I didn't even get the checkbook and tax forms training. This is so important to learn too it seems like a no brainer. Why don't schools teach them this. Loading People... |
