[quote=Anonymous]My 10th grader today took a wellness quiz type thing and said the entire class scored low on the financial portion because nobody had a retirement account. She thought it was dumb to ding her for not having a retirement account or a budget when she doesn't even have a job yet and doesn't spend money. It's certainly important to learn about taxes and budgets and investing, but maybe teenagers aren't the right audience. I wouldn't want to learn about Medicare part D and senior discounts right now because it's not useful information to me at this point in my life. Lots of information is learned after high school. Should we teach teens how to change diapers, talk to aging parents about end of life care, unclog a toilet, choosing a health care plan, making a will, choosing a mortgage, hosting a dinner party, etc.?[/quote]
