We live in a world today, where change happens rapidly.
There has been many breakthroughs in top US industry, yet the school system's teachings are still the same from 150 years ago.
There is no excuse for this.
I hear tradition can't be changed.
I do not care what the excuse is, the results have been seen over the last few years.
Children are still taught by teachers and their parents to go to school, get good grades, and you will have a great job.
It is wrong, and such a disservice to install these beliefs in our children today.
If you want your child to be average, and struggle financially today, keep telling them these untruths.
Children look to their teachers to help them shape their early years.
They need to be armed with the right tools to be able to help them succeed in the world today.
It is vital that financial literacy be taught in all schools.
There are so many more problems that we will face economically if this does not change.
Financial literacy that i have learned over the last 3 years was not taught in school.
The topics that are invaluable to our children today are real estate investments, mutual funds, stocks, insurance and online businesses.
There are so many resources at our fingertips these days.
There are so many millionaires that have created their wealth from the internet and real estate investments.
Stock portfolios are riskier, but there are a lot of safe mutual funds that get pretty consistent returns on investment.
Life insurance is a great source of protection, and also a way to grow a huge cash savings over time.
These are concepts that every school should teach, or at least introduce.
The curriculum that I learned was virtually useless other than reading, writing and basic math.
It seems like US schools are best at avoiding key concepts that are vital to our children's financial success.
The curriculum is not as vital for the wealthy children, because their parents teach their kids how to do what they have done to succeed.
Most middle class children do not get the same upbringing, and will not learn about financial literacy in school.
They are on their own.
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki know how to create wealth.
They are both extremely wealthy and have been preaching the same curriculum changes i have in this article.
They are the perfect role models for creating wealth, and making change because they have done so in their lives.
The school systems need to think of our nation's future, and learn from past mistakes.
Change is necessary.
If it is not made, our nation is doomed to fall behind.
