Teaching fiscal responsibility and money management
John W. is very right in saying that if school is life, we should stress money management. This lesson is being forced down all our throats right now in light of the national financial crisis. With regard to the state of New York, our new Govenor, David Patterson is preparing us for the worst scenario in terms of educational planning and next year’s school budgets. If we teachers did not stress fiscal responsibility and money management before – we certainly will now. Economics is part of our Social Studies curriculum but youth and adults, never quite believed that we in the U.S. would be faced with an epidemic scale of fiscal choices that will dictate how we live, work and interact with each other. Sobering news for sombre times.
