[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of pushing kids to take AP Calculus or Physics, FCPS should require all students to take a personal finance course as a graduation requirement. It needs to include basic banking info. on compound interest, fees, loans, the stock market, etc. Kids are graduating with no financial literacy whatsoever, taking on huge debt to pay for expensive degrees in low paying fields, and setting themselves up for a lifetime of debt.[/quote] Do you have kids in school? The state of VA has required this course for a few years. My sophomore ds is taking it over the summer because there isn't room in the IB diploma program for it. [/quote] +1 VA high school graduation requirements will change again in 2018-2019 school year for that year's 9th graders, although FCPS may try to shift this to starting in the 2019-2020 school year.[/quote]
