kids and money

Submitted by moneyman on Thu, 09/16/2004 - 7:59pm.

Hello everyone:

I am a high school teacher, and my students desperately need your help. You can help by answering these 2 questions:

1- What do you wish your parents had taught you about money?

2- Share some stories/ real life experiences where you learned money lessons the hard way.

My students and I thank you all in advance. These answers are truly going to help these kids become financially literate!

I would be more comfortable replying if I could verify anything about your request:

School Name & phone? School e-mail for replies?

Course name/content?

...and why are you asking "strangers?"...Have you asked the kids to interview the grown-ups in their own lives for this information? It seems that would be more impactful for them.

Just asking!

Thanks for the tip, Igunnoe. You certainly don't have to reply if you don't feel "comfortable." I don't feel comfortable giving "stangers" my personal information over the internet.

Most folks have helped so far because they care about students learning about money. This is an important subject that adults need to take time to train the next generation about.

Anyone who doesn't mind helping, my students would love to hear from you. Thanks!
