Check out this article in the Money Section of today's NYT. Champlain College is taking a couple of semesters to teach their students about "financial sophistication" or, more plainly, financial literacy. Eureka.
This idea is more than good. It's obvious. And necessary. Clearly a high percentage of Americans (99%?) have an insufficient education about personal finances, credit cards and mortgages. Me included. I've spend the last decade (since graduating) trying to wade through the murky processes and sharp truths about debt (student and otherwise), budgeting and savings.
Let this idea ring out across the land! Let us teach our children how to live in a capitalist democracy!
