mandate a personal financial curriculum for all high school students. This will be a requirement for graduation.

Created by J.T. on November 14, 2012

This petition asks to mandate a strong personal financial curriculum for all high school students across the United States of America. This mandate must be a requirement for graduation, and also a pre-requisite for federal student loans. This mandate will help prepare future generations to make better financial choices. This knowledge will substantially aid in the reduction of defaulted loans, bankrupties, and financial disasters. This abuse of our future generations can no longer be tolerated. There has been a hefty amount of research on this, there have been a very limited number of school districts that have this curriculum available, however, none are mandatory. A very good program is "Foundations in Personal Finance" by Dave Ramsey. It is offered in High school and college curriculums
