Financial Literacy in Language Arts classes

Alvin Halpain
The students of today want to be included in lessons.  They love giving their opinion and ideas, and some of them are very creative and original.  A lot of students really need to be taught financial literacy due to the fact that their parents are not teaching it at home.  Sometimes their parents teach them by their examples good or bad.

Why do students spend as they spend? They have their own perceived needs, and should have guidance from their parents. But I recall my school days when students' spending was mostly "clique" style peer pressure. Groups of junior high girls dressed alike. Do boys and girls still do that? Boys, to a lesser extent; girls, to a very high extent? They did when I was much younger. Take one girl and her girl friends and they wore the same style of shirt or skirt or slacks or headband to school on any given day. The most ABSURD copycat spending was when gold-rim glasses were in style (1970s). Almost all the senior girls who wore glasses, got new matching glasses. One girl came to school wearing the same glasses, though she'd never previously worn glasses. I asked her about that. She wanted the copycat fashion, and bought the eyeglasses to wear. The seller had inserted a thin non-prescription lense.

So this is what I mean. It's not about business, because sadly there was always a war around the world. And luckily for Patek, as we have a small quantity, link we can always shift the amount of watches. So if one place is in danger – it can be link war, but it can also be link an economic problem – I shift the watches somewhere else. This is easy for me.

I've written several stories about it – and have another link big one coming early link in the new year – I link love it a lot, and if you're like me and lack the wrist for a full-fat Pelagos, the 39 should get your vote, as well.

Jason also notes that while modern dive computers have long since link supplanted dive watches, dive computers can fail (a rare event, but it happens; it happened to Jason twice, as he relates in his story), and having a backup is never a bad thing. There are several modern versions link of the Aqualand, and while some are pretty busy in link design details they still have many of the features that made the original Aqualand a classic.
