I have always known that financial education is taught at home whether parents are doing it on purpose or not. While the powerful influence of parents is not lost on me I still think schools should take part in educating kids about the basics of finance. Of course then one has to hope that at least one teacher knows how to teach finance basics. This topic is a huge one that warrants serious thought and planning. This is a great post.

Most of those kid's grand parents learned about thrift and managing money in the depression. These kids may get the same opportunity. At least their financial schooling may help them adapt quickly.
