Is Financial Literacy a Joke? The Ultimate Financial Education Question

by | Feb 6, 2012

This may be the shortest blog I’ve ever written.

It consists of one very deep, very enlightened question, based on over 10 years of experience in the ‘industry’ of financial education.

Riddle us this one, Bat Man…

“Why do public and private schools, all across America, purchase millions of dollars of textbooks and curriculum for required, tested subjects (often worthless from a life-skills standpoint) from for-profit companies, yet when it comes to one of the most important subjects a child will ever learn and master, money and investing, school administrators and teachers practically demand that the programs come from nonprofit organizations which are all too often supported by banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions?”

The answer(s) to this question may surprise, and I hope, disturb you.

What do YOU think?
