[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a horrible idea. I don’t think a kid who will be out of the system in a year soon is in the best position to make the case. She did it for the college essay. If we allow every SMOB to mandate a “necessary” class- please help us. My husband would love every kid to learn how to change a tire, fix a law mower etc. my MIL thinks home Econ should be mandatory. Where does it end? Some things kids can learn outside of school.[/quote] It's a fantastic idea, and it's a shame that the BOE didn't move forward with it. Financial literacy is one of the most important skills that people need to succeed in the world. Even the top performers in HS often don't really understand the consequences of many normal financial decisions. [/quote]
