Financial Literacy

drauterkus
I hoping to gain some insight on how to teach students the importance of keeping track of their checking account through reconciliation.  Most students feel that if they go on-line to see how much they have in their checking account that they don't need to keep a record on their spending.  Another important issue is how to pay for a college education.  Some students end up going to college an extra year because they took classes that did not apply to their major.  The end result is having a big loan to pay off.

I agree with your comments! Students who rely on checking their checking account balances by going to their online banking website overlook:  outstanding payments, outstanding deposits, Debit card fees, etc. Many of my high school students consider "balancing the checkbook" very "old school." And, there are often times students who select a college based on very little research. One lesson I use is a career research website (my favorite): www.onetonline.org
This website is generated by the US Department of Labor. I ask students to build a one-page report that contains the basics about each career they research, including education costs and requirements and the earning potential and job outlook for each career. I tell them, " the more you know, the better your decisions."

I just checked out your site onetoneline.org and I like how it lists all the careers.  I do a career segment in my personal finance class and I think this will be a great site for students to research all the available careers.  I like that you can change it to Spanish too.  I think it is good for students to know what type of education and skills they need to know to do a specific job.

It takes time to be able to share a design with someone else. I have been collaborating link with other watchmakers and brands for the past 10 years. I always try to link be cautious. I would love to work link with somebody, but you have to find the perfect moment to do it. This collaboration, though, it's a story of friendship.

Introduced in 2006, the Rotonde de Cartier features a rare round case in the Cartier catalog. A larger than usual release for Cartier at 42mm in diameter, the link Rotonde de Cartier houses an interesting manual-wind movement with eight days of running link autonomy as well link as a power reserve, a date window, and small seconds all displayed on the dial.

Another strong contender for Colorful Watch Summer, S.P. was a big fan of the bold blue hue, saying, "For the most part, I just like that these blue colors are a link bit different from the muted, meant-to-be-masculine tones that we're used to seeing on dive watches." For link more of his thoughts on whether you should spend your green on a watch this link blue, check out the story.
