@Em203Muhammad Here in New Jersey, there is a graduation requirement that forces all high school students to take a financial literacy course, but only 1/6 of schools teach personal finance! financial literacy is so important! #getfinlit #personalfinance

@Em203Muhammad Yes, it should and for many reasons. Fin literacy is an essential skill to thrive in today's society and the level of finlit is too low among the young. Also, it levels the playing field; finlit is lowest among the disadvantaged students e.g. those coming from low income families

@A_Lusardi Doing some research for my university courses! Would really appreciate a reply! Do you think a financial literacy course should be mandatory in high school? I'm inclined to believe so but would love to hear your opinion!

Financial literacy is blooming in many US colleges. At GW, we have been teaching Personal Finance for many years and now the course is available to undergraduates too. Check out the course here: gflec.org/education/pers… #finlitblooms

@DMFinLit Hey guys! Doing some research for one of my university courses! Just wanted to hear your opinion on this; do you believe post-secondary students would be better suited to handle finances if there was a mandatory high school course? Any opinions?

@children Do you think there should be a mandatory financial literacy course in all schools around the world?

Manisha, 17-year-old sponsored teen in India, paid it forward last year with the help of fellow youth in our Social and Financial Literacy program. They organized a campaign to sell gently used clothes to communities in poverty.

@kjacksonatwlu Just a quick question for my EM203 assignment! Do you believe it would benefit high school students if a mandatory financial skills course was part of the curriculum? Would it benefit students coming into university?

Check out my infographic below on financial illiteracy and the significance of this problem on the younger generation in North America!

A shocking 54% of people taking out student loans do not attempt to figure out their monthly payment before doing so #EM203Mueller

Before adulthood, the classroom is where students spend most of their time. It is important to teach students basic financial skills, such as applying for student loans or doing their taxes, in these classrooms so that they have the knowledge to do so as adults.

Declining financial literacy among the Canadian youth is a big problem. Recently the Ontario government introduced a high school to help target solve this problem. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Great concept! Especially in the age of social media, players may feel more pressure to return from injury when they see fans' comments online (Read: Kevin Durant returning to the 2019 NBA Finals where he eventually ruptured his achilles)

My concept map took a look at how sports injuries impact performance. Through this week's module, I discovered this website that explores the psychological impact an injury has on an athlete and how it effects their performance #EM203Research #EM203Mueller musculoskeletalkey.com/psychologic-st…

Modern medicine has done so much to improve our lives that often times, we don’t quite realize how lucky we are to be living an era where most diseases are curable. New and innovative solutions, such as the one below, are being discovered everyday! #EM203Mueller #EM203Research

@Em203Muhammad I couldn’t agree more! I’ve never taken a course like this before and I’m really enjoying it. Using the class wiki and reading people’s tweets is such a creative way to go about learning and communicating. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the semester!

@Em203Muhammad Your viewpoint is very interesting to think about! This course is very different than any other that I have taken before especially in the way that everyone interacts and shares their viewpoints which has positively impacted my learning

@Em203Muhammad Very nicely said Muhammad! I also agree I find it really amazing to share our learning experiences and to have our findings more connected and integrated with each other than in a regular online course! The learning experience from #EM203 has definitely been unique thus far!

@Em203Muhammad I think it's really important to understand that everyone learns in different ways. The internet is such a powerful tool and it allows us to learn anything we want to, and learn at our own pace.

@Em203Muhammad Hi Muhammad! I thought your concept was very interesting as I am also a huge sports fan. A trend you could look at in football are the touchdown differences between the top abs and wrs year by year to show how the NFL changed to a passing league. #EM203Problems

@Em203Muhammad Hi Muhammad. I like how you chose sports statistics. Further explorting problems in the different sports and related injuries would be interesting to look at - maybe the number of injuries in some sports might surprise you #EM203Problems
