Does a student in grade 9 with no income, savings or financial responsibilities really need to learn about down payments or how to calculate mortgage amortization schedules? Should we even be teaching these financial literacy concepts so early in life? Is there a more effective, practical way to teach kids how to understand money? On today's podcast, Doug Hoyes and Ted Michalos critique the 2021 grade 9 and 10 financial literacy curriculum for Ontario and share their thoughts on money topics and scenarios that would be more fitting for young students. Tune in!
