Should high school students be required to take a type of business class?

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:15:35 +0000

I believe it is extremely important to teach today’s youth about real life situations they will encounter. Many kids today don’t know a lot about the real world and what it takes to be successful. I think high schools should teach these kids things they can actually apply to their own lives. For instance, I believe there should be a class which teaches students how to interview, write a resume, apply for credit cards, learn about loans( student loans, car,home, business), how to file taxes, open checking/savings accounts, retirements plans, etc.
I’m currently in the process of developing a plan which goes beyond the average Economics class. Hopefully I can encourage people to teach this generation a little more about the “real world”.
Sooo, what do you guys think? Good plan? Or just a waste of time? I’m interested in your thoughts and I’d love any new ideas!
Well from my own personal experience, I didn’t have this information available at my school. Some teachers did have guest speakers come in and talk to us about interviewing and things like that, but you can’t really teach kids just by having someone talk about it for an hour so they can forget the next day.
Also, many kids don’t have parents or anyone to help them with these types of things. Yes it may be controversial, but we kind find ways to make it work such as consent forms and things like that. It’s not like we’d be forcing them to apply for credit, just informing them.
