I think offering a financial course into the high school curriculum would be a wise idea. Most teens do not know much about finances and how to handle money and usually have to learn on their own or have their parents teach them. I think if this class were offered, almost every student would take it. Most teens towards the end of their high school career start to get jobs and bank accounts and have to start handling more money on their own. With this class they will understand and know how to handle their finances. They will be able to take this financial knowledge and use it for the rest of their lives. Most teens have to go into the real world blinded and with little knowledge on how to handle finances but with this class being offered they will be able to learn and help not only themselves but also maybe even their families. I see no harm in having a financial class added to the high school curriculum, as long as it would not interfere with the main classes that must be taken. Just like the teacher from Michigan said in the article, more and more children are becoming interested in these programs and want to get more involved. I think it would be smart and a good idea for us students to realize how to handle financial issues, so we will be prepared for the real world and the problems that go on around us. I wish I could have taken a class like this during my high school years it would have been helpful and would have prepared me better for my upcoming years.
