In my years of being a student in public school, something I have felt that has been greatly missing is a teaching of foreign language at a young age. Studies have shown that children learn language the best at a younger age. But yet, most public schools only offer foreign language opprotunities, as late as 7th grade.
When asked if I feel capable enough to manage money and finances on my own, my answer would be no. Though I understand the importance of saving money, and being responsible for it, I feel it hasn't been imbedded in my brain.
I would definitely feel more secure in my future finances if I had taken a class over. It would teach me the right way to spend and save money. While also, keeping the subject in the front of my mind.
