Teaching Students To Learn Now Or Pay Later
In an effort to improve the financial literacy of its students, the School-to-Career Department of the Springfield, Massachusetts public school system announced recently that it has teamed with a major credit counseling corporation to provide fundamental instruction on money management to pupils in grades 9-12.
The credit counseling corporation will help to provide resources, lessons, and training to the School-to-Career Department in order to proactively facilitate students’ understanding about credit, debt, money management, interest, loans, and the United States economy. High school students in Springfield will learn how to write a check, balance a budget, and differentiate between checking and savings accounts, among other activities and lessons.
