Financial literacy in the classroom today, financial success for all tomorrow
Thirty-three percent of parents live with the worry that even in their golden years, they will have to extend financial support to their kids. In addition, about 93 percent of American parents are not sure about the future financial behavior of their teenage children. They foresee financial missteps by their kids, including living beyond their means in the absence of a budget, rolling over credit card debts, and failing to have an emergency fund.
The irony is, while more than 60 percent of all American parents think it is proper to introduce their teens to the subject of personal finance at an early age, they don't know how to approach these concepts with their kids. Less than 50 percent of parents have ever tried to train their children on these basic concepts of personal finance. Introducing standards based learning and interactivity to the personal finance classroom can break this cycle that will surely become worse without intervention. Financial literacy in the classroom is critical. A solution that meets Ohio academic content standards and allows students to successfully grasp and apply concepts is needed. TimeMAPS can do both!
