Dear Readers: Today, I’d like to turn the tables and ask you a question: Let’s say you could design a basic high school curriculum. Outside of core courses like science, math, and English, how would you rank adding financial literacy as a requirement, compared with other topics such as health and wellness, career development, college planning, arts, music, and sports?
This is just one of many questions that my team and I recently posed to thousands of Americans through a national poll. If you put financial literacy at the top of your list, you’re in agreement with 63 percent of our respondents.
