Sadly, there are a lot more non-engaged parents than I would have guessed. Last few years have been eye opening.

Financial literacy is definitely a way to help kids understand why they need math. Good practical thing to incorporate into the curriculum.Comment

Yeah...and to think, we have a pretty darn good district, and a nice part of town in general. Imagine what the engagement level is at KCPS.Originally posted by entropy View PostComment

Balancing a checkbook, credit card debt would be a good subject to have, although both things are concepts that are better learned as you have some experience with it. High schoolers really don't have that knowledge. It is very similar to learning grammar and English early on in life before you have written a damn thing.Comment

Well I was good at the latter, but sure did need real-life experience with the former. If there's one aspect of financial literacy that needs to be driven home, it's the time value of money. An interest rate is so abstract compared with using it to calculate total repayment costs over the life of a debt.Comment

Well, at least we have a president-Elect that knows a few things about running a quality higher learning program. ;)Comment

8 major changes if Tom Price's (the new HHS) bill gets through.
Some highlights:
1) Everything about Obamacare is ripped away including the state insurance markets set up right now. Instead based on age (not income) you buy your insurance on the private market. And you will get a credit of $1200 to $3000 for your insurance.
2) Insurers cannot refuse you if you have a preexisting condition PROVIDED you have had insurance for at least 18 months of continuous coverage. If let your insurance lapse you could pay up to 150% of the standard premiums for up to 2 years.
3) Expanded use of HSAs
4) A cap on the amount of money that companies could deduct from their taxes to defray the cost of providing health insurance to their workers. Price?s approach would limit the employer tax exclusion for providing health insurance to $8,000 a year for individual policies and $20,000 for families.
5) Price would repeal the expanded Medicaid coverage in 32 states and the District of Columbia for able-bodied single people and leave those current beneficiaries to fend for themselves on the open market, using other tax credits and benefits.
6) It would eliminate Obamacare-style mandates for insurers to include a standard package of benefits such as maternity services and pediatric care and allow them to offer cheaper, less comprehensive policies to younger people who are looking for a bargain. At the same time, insurers could jack up the premiums and copayments on their oldest enrollees by as much as the market would bear.2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J.
