I believe that that regardless of content area, it is extremely important for every teacher to take some part in teaching students about financial literacy.  It is part of the real world that effects each and every one of them.

I have given some brief units with my 7th grade general music before on being intelligent music consumers and how it is important to make smart choices about what kind of music  to buy, how much to spend, and what medium to spend it on.  We also have some lessons about MAKING money in music, and how to use that money wisely as a musician.  Both these items also lead us to briefly discussing copyright laws, which somewhat go hand in hand with being a music consumer!
