Why teach money and personal finance?

According to the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in personal money management. Many can not balance a checkbook, and have no understanding of basic concepts involved with earning, spending, saving, and investing.

As a result, many young people fail early in the management of their first credit experience and establish bad financial management habits, unable to correct themselves, only learning by trial and error.

According to the US Education Secretary, "Our goal at the Department of Education is to meet the President's goal of educating every child in our public schools, so that no child is left behind. Not only does that include teaching them to read and write and learn all the skills they need to excel in school – they also need to know the skills to excel in life. And one of the skills most critical to their success is knowing how to manage money."

The Departments released a report that identifies different options for incorporating financial education into schools. Some of these options are including financial education in standards set by state school boards; incorporating financial concepts into material being asked on tests; urging textbook publishers to include more financial education content; incorporating financial education materials into classroom lessons; and training teachers on the importance of financial education. 

The fact is that an increasing number of young people are growing up today without a necessary understanding of money basics. We will help you increase your students' understanding of money, while providing an interesting way to reinforce other basic skills, such as math and reading comprehension. Teaching and learning about money need not just be a separate part of the curriculum.

So start teaching children early, and we have money worksheets, money lessons, and money lesson plans to help.
