Teaching Financial Literacy

Daimien Bennett
I teach high school social studies.  In my economics class financial literacy is a natural fit.  I have a number of student who do not appreciate or understand how and why they have what they do.  For this reason, In all the classes I teach (Government, Economics, Geography, and Current Events) I find any place I can bring up the topic of financial literacy. Many students seem to want to know more about what they should or could be doing and they ask a lot of questions.  Especially, when the discussion is based on something relative to them, not just from a book.
