▶ Your Answer :
Some people assert that teaching cooking and car repairing is more important
than teaching personal finance for high school students, Whereas, others hold
the opposite view. As for my position, I stand on the side of the latter. The
grounds for this are not only does the financial ability enables people to buy
foods and other things they need, but it also need a critical period to learn.
For one thing, the
high school students who learned personal finance are more likely to earn a lot
of money when they are grown up. With their money they can buy what they need
and use their money for their life. It is needless to learn cooking or car
repairing because they can pay their money for delicious foods and car repairing
services. As a case in point, my uncle, a CEO of a successive domestic company
in Korea, took a personal finance course as an optional course in his high school.
After he learned how to adjust his assets in an efficient way, he started
investing his money on the China fund and earn about 500 million dollars in Six
years. He became a famous person in our town and the most influential person in
economic progress. Although He did not know how to cook or how to fix the car,
He can eat various delicious foods and repair a variety of cars, with his money.
If he had not took the class, He would not gathered that much of assets. On top of that, learning
finance should be learned at the young age. Learning somethings needs a
critical period. In other words, cooking and car repairing can be taught after
people grown up. In contrary, learning finance needs a long duration to make a
habitual behavior. To illustrate this, a renowned educational scientist
published an article in “The Herald” last Tuesday in Chicago, which claims that
the subject which needs the long duration for the best outcome is language and
economic course. According to this article, more than 80 percent of the
participants believe that economical reasonable behavior should be though from
the age of 15. This conclusion was reported with 99.9 percent of reliability of
the result of a survey. Thus it is safe to say that learning finance is the
most critical subject for high school students.
In conclusion,
nothing is as pivotal as learning finance. If we need to choose a class for
high school optional course, learning finance is the answer. The two main
reasons for this are that: firstly, learning finance makes the students possible
to save and earn their mone, Secondly, it takes a long time to be practical
which means it should be taught from the young age.
