Personal Finance in the Curriculum

Georgia Schools to Focus on Personal Finance by Emily Kopp
School officials in Georgia have decided they're going to try to cut the state's high rate of personal bankruptcy. And they'll be starting with kindergarten students. Emily Kopp of Georgia Public Broadcasting reports that the state's Board of Education is making personal finance a key part of school curriculum.
The report mentions The National Council on Economic Education as a supporter. This sounds like a great idea to me.
