      Social media companies will target teenagers with ads for impulse products if they calculate that the user is stressed or tired.

      You should let your community college people know that graduates from prestigious universities are being paid seven figures to influence not only how they spend and save, but also what they earn. Let them know that it’s their personal responsibility to overcome the efforts of trillion dollar industries that have captured the media and government.

      They did this to us when we were 15 or something. Should not be delayed until college.

          Should be the last year that the vast majority of kids attend. College feels like it’s not what everyone does.

              That is correct, but the same crowd is unlikely to pay attention in any other class either. They were given the opportunity to learn and if they choose to not pay attention that is their choice.

        Why not both? A person’s financial at 15 is different than 20. Its no different than rereading the same book at different times in your life and it hits differently.

      This is now a requirement for high school students in Connecticut. My daughter took it last semester, and I know we are both glad she did.
