Bank of America was curious as to whether or not the average
American felt that personal finance was important enough to be taught in
schools. In an effort to satisfy its curiosity, the bank commissioned and
sponsored a poll by Harris Interactive which questioned adults on whether or
not they felt personal finance classes should be taught in high schools.
Amazingly, 99% of adults questioned said that yes, personal finance should be
taught in schools.
Despite the large number of adults who feel that teaching
personal finance is important and despite the ever growing costs involved in
education planning, there are currently only four states that require personal
finance to be taught in the public high school system. Hopefully, this poll
will help to change that!
Even though students in Illinois may not be required to take
a personal finance class in order to graduate, you can still set a good example
for your teen and prepare for his or her future by getting
help with educational planning at Platinum Financial Associates of Naperville.
