Learning the Ledger - The Case for Teaching Financial Literacy

With easy access to credit and an indulgent lifestyle, teens and young adults are growing up in a culture of debt. The La Sierra University (LSU) Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) team has created several financial literacy projects that teach elementary, junior high, and high school students smart money management, as described in this article. The author discusses the SIFE curriculum and suggests ideas for practical things teachers can do to encourage students to become financially literate.
