Financial Literacy

I help with middle school and high school English students . I believe that giving the financial tools to all students before stepping out into the "real world" is key. Many entering college are targeted with credit card applications - having the correct information helps them to make educated decisions. In English classes we create scenarios in which the students choose and write about decisions and outcomes. Financial literacy is a great topic to cover!

Her mother lived in an apartment above the restaurant, and her electricity would cut off every night when the place closed – she went on to become a computer engineer. Her father worked link as a legal assistant until he felt confident enough to take – and then pass link – the bar exam without going to law school.
