[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K-12 schools should teach personal finance and coping skills as mandatory subjects, in lieu of some of the current subjects. If a person understands personal finance, and how to cope with difficult situations (instead of self-medicating with drugs and alcohol), they have a huge advantage. It may not sound as intellectual as studying Shakespeare or Physics, but it is way more useful to a person's general well-being.[/quote][b]Virginia requires a personal finance class as one of its graduation requirements. [/quote][/b] Kudos to Virginia. I think that it should be taught every year in school, but even if it's taught just in one semester, that is better than nothing.[/quote] Not much evidence that personal finance courses are very effective too much in advance of really needing the info--probably better to have it be a HS grad requirement.[/quote]
