teaching children how to count money
Why do we require public schools to teach sex education but not basic money management?
There is an old adage, “It isn’t important how you make you money. It’s what you do with it that counts.”
An ambitious person with common sense, a high school diploma, and basic skills in money management will be much more prosperous in his lifetime than a medical school grad with a drug addiction and an appetite for loose women and fast cars.
Education in the USA is lacking in respect to providing basic skills to our children in how to succeed without becoming a member of the rat race of corporate America. Children who do not have college as a goal in their life, or even those who do, should be taught basic money management, credit management, and long term financial planning.
Imagine if you were going to play a game of Monopoly for the first time. You open the rule book and it says: The rules have been around a long time. Everybody knows the rules already so there’s no point in printing them. So, just play the game.
AGREED!
