I have never heard of classes like those. It sounds like your kid is either in a school designed specifically for manufacturing business only minded kids. (typically private) or your kid is enrolled in specific classes which aren't open to most. |

As to what to invest in, learn to study trends and corporate information such as annual reports, quarterly reports, etc... and if you don't know how, hire a broker.
Series 7 and 63 holders who do this for a living, are not taught WHAT to invest in, they are taught the rules, regulations, and how to, not what to. |

Robert, I was taught economics in grade school. I believe we covered investing, and banking around the last two years, grades 7 and 8.

Saving and spending isn't what was being talked about, investment classes were. The classes required for people to understand what horse to bet on, rather than blindly betting the house on galloping three leg Steve. |

Sweet, we're talking about very specific topics, not education overall. I don't oppose education, we're all about education in this house. But how to save and how to invest is squarely on the shoulders of the parents. Parents teach by example.

Hmm what were they thinking when they were popping out those babies that they have no time for?

Parents don't have time to sit and eat with their kids. Most parents are working while their kids are both at school or home. When they are both home, the parents have something like 3 hours to do everything and then back to one of two jobs. Oh and half of all marriages end in divorce and that doesn't count the child out of wedlock. So now double the work load. We built this society, we want to make it dog eat dog, we must pay for it by education THROUGH the school system. May it be sex education or financial. |

*That would be great if they taught all kids about savings, investing and how to read and understand the financial pages. *
How to save and invest should be the responsibility of the parents. |

Was it in this topic that someone asked what Obama's failures are?
How about the Stimulus? wasn't his promise that it will bring unemployment below 8%? His Housing Program was going to stop 7 To 9 Million Families From Foreclosing. Fast forward 3 years, only 1.7 million of the 7-9 were helped. Deficit which according to him was supposed to be cut in half by the end of his first time. Ummm need I say more? |
