Financial Literacy for High School

Tiffany Skidmore
I teach high school students. After going through this Financial Literacy coarse I have picked up some new information to present to my students. I have also picked up so new resources to use in my classes. I believe it is important for these students to have a solid understanding of how these financial concepts will affect them in the future. Currently I have students who think that credit cards are free money. We have the discussion that it is not free money and the consequences of using it like free money. I tell them stories of people I know who this has happened to and tell them stories from my own personal experiences. I think it is important for them to see how it can happen to anyone. Hopefully they will learn from my mistakes and not make their own.
