Question by Mr SmoothHead: Would teaching personal finance in High Schools help?
If we require personal financing course to be required in High School, do you think we would improve our economy in the long run?
I don't mean just a "token" course. A serious course for like 2 years just like as in math, english, etc.
Answer
Answer by ShamanI think it would.... IF the right kind of course was offered and students would listen and pay attention. Unfortunately, I think they and many in the educational system would treat it as a "bird course".
Personally, I think if "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason was introduced to high school students as required reading, we might see some improvements in our country's overall personal finance intelligence. And by default an improvement in our overall economy.
For that matter, I think there should be course work that helps develop the student as a citizen of our country. A course that would improve the basic awareness
