[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking NFCU to teach kids about finances is like asking Safeway to teach kids about nutrition. Doesn’t make sense. Private businesses supporting the school is great. But I’m confused about an assembly during school hours for a private business to promote themselves to kids. That doesn’t seem like an appropriate use of school time. I’m open to an explanation though if anyone has one. [/quote] Not exactly. Safeway is a for-profit concern. NFCU is not. When I was in 8th grade, we had a private financial advisor come in once a week to my Social Studies class and talk about stock investments. We played the game where we picked a couple, and checked their prices over a semester. If he was looking to market his advisory services to us for an annual percentage of our assets, I think he was barking up the wrong tree. But it wasn't like that. Get a real problem, OP. You're a nut job.[/quote]
