I don't like when people say, "we need to prepare our students for the real world." The truth is, some of them are experiencing more of a "real world" than we will ever know. What we need to do is prepare them for a better world.

According to @CentsAbility, 54% of their students "never" or "rarely" talk about money with their family. So they shared some #finlit tips for high schools students to remember. #financialliteracy #phonehomefs

@EVERFIK12 @EVERFI I was impressed that many of them did actually understand the difference.
However, they were surprised about all the benefits of saving+planning for long term goals. They definitely left empowered about their ability to approach money mgmt wisely & we still have more to learn!

[Matt Peebles @PeeblesForest]

Never too early to discuss #FinancialLiteracy with students! Introduced Ss to @EVERFI and talked about saving, spending, responsible money choices, the difference between “needs” and “wants”, and short term + long term financial goals #62Learns
