I agree that knowledge is no longer crucial in making the cut, especially since its so easy obtain with a click! They need soft skills and skills that will transcend over time such as being innovative!


ConcernedDaddy: Teachers should make learning as developmentally appropriate as possible. PArt of a teacher's responsiblities to be advocates for children.

But not sure if the kid’s mental development is ready for it? There’s so many things they already need to absorb, intellectually and emotionally at a young age.

I agree that it’s a good idea to instill $ sense in them! The money children are using are the parents’ hard-earned money, yet it is a pity that children have yet appreciate that.

I think they r trying to equip them with the thinking skills (base cost, pricing, profit & lost) at a young age. My son made some clay art to sell at open house in nov. Not a bad idea to instill some $ sense/ value of $ in them

How about classes to manage money too? I mean as entrepreneur, you will need to be money smart right?

I find them useless and not helpful. I decided to strike it out on my own earlier this year and it was when I learnt everything. I started with a pushcart business, but the investment is probably too much if your nephew is very young.


If your nephew is old enough, let him try with a blogshop or something and guide him along. Doing it is the best way to learn. You can bring him out to those business fairs too. Trade shows, franchise & licensing fairs. Observe how people negotiate and what kind of questions do businessman ask.
