And not all kids are good at school.
Parents are in a great position to really reach the kid by making the lessons real with actual consequences and rewards. The can give their kids financial advice where a school can only give information.
A finance class where kids have to memorize how bonds work to pass a test is just not the same.
- sbarre 2y agoSure yeah, you can always find edge cases and arguments against a general position. I wrote a 3-line post, not an essay. Let's try again... Generally speaking kids should be learning about finance at school, not from their parents, because generally speaking most schools will do a better job than parents in teaching generally accepted financial best practices. There will be exceptions to this. Better?
- thunky 2y agoI still disagree but that's ok.
