How I wish more states would mandate the teaching of financial literacy! We are supposed to teach relevant content and life lessons. Understanding how money works is an extremely important life lesson. Better to start young to make good choices and take care of money. Interestingly, the first financial lesson is in Kindergarten with lessons on getting money as a gift versus borrowing from someone. Along through the years, students will learn supply and demand, calculating income tax, interest rates, and loan lengths. WOW! Now this is certainly relevant to today's world.
