Should schools make financial education a graduation requirement?
by
Sara Bernard
Yes. Financial-literacy skills are vital. A required course would give students a head start -- and would help prevent them from having to learn it the hard way.
No. Personal finance may be important, but it can be learned outside of school; a required course is unnecessary.
Neither.
