Personal Finance Enlightenment

“A handful of benighted states lack requirements for high-schoolers to learn anything about personal finance. Maryland is one,” So says Jay Hancock in Educating Md. Students in Finance is the Smart Move (http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bal-bz.hancock02oct02002023,0,1380804.column. BUT WAIT! Although we live in a “benighted state,” we are far from being unenlightened. Cardin students are required to take a personal finance course in their senior year, enabling them to make wise financial choices. Someone should tell Jay Hancock that the Cardin School has moved beyond the dark ages of personal finance requirements!
