Just signed - can't understand why this has not been in schools for years! Can remember explaining interest on savings accounts, to kids in a school in 1970 and they were really eager to learn about it.0

Duly signed, and bumped up
Going back to someones comment earlier, I don't see how it would "water down" the curriculum; it could easily be slotted in as part of many other subjects in the curriculum. Maths is one obvious choice, but also English essays could be written about debt. And how about studying personal debt as part of Geography?
We need to re-educate our society back to the days of our grandparents. In their day, if you wanted it, you saved for it, or went without.
Parents can help educate their children, of course, but when you are struggling with debt yourself, you are not be able to lead by example.
Hopefully the next generation of school leavers might be in a better position than their parents.
Good luck with this Martin, I applaud you for your tenacity :TI'm a nutter :j0
