Our school system is turning out credit flunkies. We need to start educating our kids about credit. Think about it for a moment. When was the last time you used the pythagorean theorem, or that you had to know the area of a circle. This is the stuff that our school systems are teaching our kids to prepare them for life after high school. Chemistry, do not even get me started with that! I know about two things from having three semesters of chemistry. H2O is water, and sodium blows up when you put it in H20. Three semesters of my time to learn something that I could have done without.
I would like to see our schools teach children about credit, the time value of money, and how to invest wisely. Instead, the life a college freshman looks something like this:
Day 1- Arrive on campus only to be bombarded with credit card offers. The clever freshmen unknowingly decides to give up their credit for a free coffee mug with the university logo on it.
30 days later-The bill arrives for the fake money. The clever freshman decides to rebel because there are no parents around anyway, nobody can make them pay.
60 days later-Another bill arrives this time with a note stating that there will be a $80 fee, and that they may be sent to collections. The clever graduates blows off the whole thing in one last rebellion against the society that has held them back for so long.
