OT Hi DMF and Thread, RE: "Public schools need to teach more than how to write a check, open a savings account and sign up for a credit card. Education for real life would include serious financial information. Should we put Amy in charge?"

Thank you for your compliments.

I would love to help fix this problem (after I finish what I'm working on now). Maybe there could be an entrepreneurial spin on a solution to this problem. I know of two women entrepreneurs who have started businesses/websites which educate girls on financial independence. Not sure what their revenue/biz model is though (but they must have one if they're effectively teaching financial independence)

I do not understand why the school system doesn't better educate children on financial matters like the benefits of investing and explaining the types of investment vehicles (IRAs, mutual funds, stocks, etc.) It isn't too difficult to teach, and why leave it up to the chance?
