Financial Literacy Pays Off!

This blog is in response an article called "Financial Literacy Makes School Relevant."

-I don't think many teachers try to apply learning to the real world. Going through elementary school and even now I have always sat in classes wondering why it is important for us to learn the things we do during school. Things such as counting numbers, many math activities, and reading will always be useful to us in the real world however there is not much else my teachers have made relevant.
-I really enjoyed taking economic class this summer, I felt that this was one class that would really be useful to me in the future. I think that more classes on money management, etc. could also be beneficial.
-I feel comfortable managing the money that I have as a teenagers, however, I would not feel very comfortable managing money like adults do with paying bills.
-I do believe that I would feel better about my financial future if I had been taught a financial literacy curriculum sometime during high school, I feel a class like that could really benefit almost all students.
