We've all been there - the dreaded classroom. School occupies 12 years of our lives and shapes the children of the future. But is our current school system REALLY achieving the optimal effect? Are kids emerging as mature adults? Do they know how to pay taxes, apply for a mortgage, or manage a credit score? Most importantly, are they responsible enough to graduate into the complicated world we live in?
Yes, school teaches kids important lessons about history, science, math etc. BUT there are some crucial subjects that still need to be taught! Learning how to file an Income Tax form is just as important as knowing what the Latin term for "cell" is. Balancing a checkbook is a real-life situation - why are these skills not being taught?
Don't you want YOUR kid to be responsible? I know I do.
