FINANCIAL LITERACY IS NOT TAUGHT IN MOST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS - WHY?



Financial literacy is not taught in most elementary schools - why?

It is quite clear why it isn't.

It is considered to be a subject that is the responsibility of parents - not schools.

By and large money is not a subject of discussion by most parents.

So who is minding the store?
