Financial Literacy

Randy Daniels
Although we did not have a financial literacy course specifically I advocated for this for many years.  As a math teacher I would incorporate it into the math curriculum and the students loved it.  I wanted them to understand not only interest and credit card debt but also mortgages and annuities and specifically the math behind this.  I wanted them to understand the power of compounding and more importantly time when it relates to investing and retirement.  There is a definite need for this topic to be in every school and at all levels to give all learners a better financial awareness and confidence.
