Subject: Proposal for new course: Financial Literacy and Life Skills

Hi Mr. Lochan,

I propose a new course for our senior high school students: Financial Literacy
and Life Skills. Our students would graduate from this course with the information and
abilities required to successfully navigate the financial world and make wise decisions
as they enter adulthood.
This course would prepare our students for future monetary difficulties.
According to a report by the National Financial Educators Council, only 17 states in the
US require high school students to take a personal finance course
(https://www.financialeducatorscouncil.org/). By providing this course, we can ensure
that our students have the information and abilities required to manage their money and
avoid financial hazards. Additionally, this course would teach students how to create a
budget and stick to it, an essential skill for managing money and avoiding future
financial difficulties.
Another reason this course would be valuable is because it would equip our
students to make wise judgments regarding their future. Taxes, budgeting, saving,
investing, and credit management, all subjects crucial for success in the real world,
would be covered in the curriculum. We can assist our students in positioning
themselves for a more stable financial future by supplying them with this knowledge.
Additionally, this course would provide students with the knowledge and skills to make
informed decisions about credit and loans, which is essential for achieving financial
stability and security in the long term.
Furthermore, this course would empower our students to take charge of their
financial security. Studies have shown that financial literacy is linked to greater physical
and mental health. Therefore, we can assist our kids in being more resilient, assured,
and self-reliant in managing financial issues by teaching them how to manage their
money. Additionally, this course would teach students how to create and maintain an
emergency fund, which is an important aspect of financial security and can provide
peace of mind in difficult situations.
Finally, this course would equip our students with the knowledge and abilities to
successfully negotiate the financial world and make wise decisions when they enter
adulthood. It would give them the tools to make informed decisions about their financial
future, whether in college, starting a career, or buying a home. This course would benefit
them in the short term and set them up for long-term financial success. I hope you'll
give this suggestion some thought.
Thank you for your time!
