I don't think there are any students who should not be exposed to a basic financial literacy course.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Financial literacy is just as important in life as the other basics.
Financial literacy is an issue that should command our attention because many Americans are not adequately organizing finances for their education, healthcare and retirement.
If I had my choice, every high school would be teaching financial literacy along with math and science.
At base, financial literacy is inextricably connected to control over one's future.
Millions of Americans and people around the world, especially young people who face intense financial challenges today, haven't been taught how to take control of their financial future.
Money is not the reason that people enter teaching.
Financial freedom is available to those who learn about it and work for it.
I say all the time I think there should be some courses in the regular schooling system that isn't, even like about credit, things that matter later in life. I learned the harder way: 'Look, I got a $500 credit card in the mail, let's go shopping!'
If you want to thrive in today's economy, you must challenge the status quo and get the financial education necessary to succeed.
While there are many obstacles that deter students from going to college, finances by no means should be the deciding factor.
