Tardis Girl Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Does anyone have any thoughts on using the high school "boxed" curriculum: Foundations in Personal Finance by Dave Ramsey? We need some kind of personal financial ed class, and I thought this might be good. I also have the book "The Four Laws of Financial Prosperity" by Blaine Harris, which I thought my teens might also enjoy as it teaches through a storyline (not a teen book, BTW, but one that I finally got around to reading a few months ago -- pretty quick read, too). I'm looking for something specifically for the 16-17yo age group. Dave Ramsey also has a college "course" I think. I'd love to hear from anyone who's used any of these mentioned resources with this age group, or other resources that you liked. The recent thread on creating a course syllabus has me thinking maybe I need to do that here so I'm not just grabbing whatever resource crosses my path. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 through Homeschool Buyer's Coop and plan to do it this summer as a family. We watched only one lesson so far. It's a bit too much for a high schooler but it lays a foundation for the future. By this I mean - why does a high schooler need to know about buying real estate? Most high schoolers are planning on attending college not buying a house BUT it's good info anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
