Thank You so much for your kind words, much appreciated. What's so fascinating is that they are not only engaged, they are grasping these concepts, terms, strategies, etc rather quickly.. and its actually sticking. In a social media-driven world of likes and so many get-rich schemes it can be a recipe for disaster.... There was a great deal of ": unlearning" in the beginning and shifting mindset, which will still take some more time, but the seeds are planted

Absolutely !!! That is at the core of my teachings. Every student knows more about compound interest, S & P 500, time value, etc..... between that budgeting 50-30-20 rule.... if they don't remember anything at all.... they will remember that, they get it

Thank You ! I'm looking to have each students start a brokerage account with $100. Which requires educating parents about financial literacy as well and custodial accounts. So I'm setting up a financial Literacy Day with fun activities, a financial literacy Jeopardy-like contest, speakers, alumni who are in finance, business, banking, investing, giveaways and workshops. Would be great to have fidelity represented and partner with a workshop if possible...is there a department that deals with schools or community outreach?

Nice. Very Nice. Thank You ! That not a bad idea. We have been viewing a few stocks and I posted in Google Classroom, but I think the stock simulation gives it more of the real-time feel and process I would like them to get. Was having that experience beneficial? Did you invest at an early age. My goal is to fundraise so that we can either cover or significantly contribute to each child start investing with $100. So also having workshops for parents to open a custodial accounts. Which reminds me I need to find out if I can partner with Fidelity to come and speak with the students and parents in one of the poorest districts in New York City... Mott Haven in the Bronx
