<prompt> Human: Article Link Excerpts:Scottsdale teaches personal finance in economics classes and offers an optional business math course, which discusses aspects of personal finance. Under Arizonas social- studies standards for economics, personal-finance concepts are required to be taught beginning in first grade. Students are exposed to ideas such as budgeting, saving, investing and credit.My 2 cents: more personal finance in schools better!  <response>: I wish I was taught these things in school. Or by my parents. Or anyone really.
