[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For instance my state requires students to pas the earth science test in forder to graduate. They must learn about polaris, bedrocks and all. However they don't require students to know how to write a resume or interview for a job, and public schools don't offer any classes for these things or other things more likely to be used in life like personal finance.[/quote] Because what's right for you and your family is not right for our kids and our family. Our kids had jobs that needed resumes at 15 (lifeguarding, and had babysat and been CIT at summercamp before that), and we helped them with that. We also taught them about budgeting and investing (their earnings went into their own accounts, and we offered to match whatever they put into an IRA, which one took us up on and one did not).[/quote]
