Teaching young students about Financial Literacy certainly has merit. We live in a time when most product and investments are conducted via the monetary system and not a barter system. Providing students with early knowledge of money as it pertains to earnings, trade, valuation and savings can help them grow up to make sound financial decisions. Unfortunately, I learned many of these things later in life and my early financial well being suffered as as a result. So I believe that helping young students to learn about some of the fundamentals of money will only help them to have more confidence in the modern world and be more self reliant and successful in life. Even children as young 4 or 5 can be taught about money. For example, helping such students to learn about things like differences in earnings, saving money for later use and how to distinguish between wants and needs can only help them them to develop into responsible citizens. I am currently a kindergarten teacher and I am eager to learn more about financial literacy and some related teaching methods from this course.
