We want our kids to know have the tools to succeed in life after they leave high school, right? If that’s the case, then why do we spend all of our time teaching them things that they don’t ever need? On top of that, valuable time that is wasted doing other things forces the kids to miss out on the chance to learn what they need to know, like how to buy a house, or how to invest.
In this article for Techyville.com, Dr. Boyce Watkins explains why financial education is just as important as s*x education when it comes to preparing kids for the future. Dr. Watkins explains that kids need to know the ins and outs of finance and that it’s the lack of financial education in our society that makes kids into financial slaves for major corporations.
Dr. Boyce Watkins is a Finance Professor at Syracuse University. In 2002, he was the only African American in the world to earn a PhD in Finance. He has taught at the highly prestigious Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in China and has more solo-authored research publications than anyone in the history of the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. Read more of what Dr. Watkins has to say:
Two things that tend to affect our brains in the same way are money and s*x. They are also two things that can get us into the most trouble. So, as a Finance Professor, I thought I would explain five reasons why Financial education is at least as important than s*x education and why they should both be taught in high school.
1) Because its relevant: We teach our kids the birds and the bees (sometimes), have them reading old English textbooks that they don’t understand and force them to learn at least 5,000 things that they will never use for the rest of their lives. If we are teaching all of this semi-worthless nonsense, why not teach a child to balance a check book too?

s*x education should be taught at home. There are a number of pedophile teachers, who are molesting our children, especially young Black boys!
Anytime a teacher watches her 3rd grade students perform oral s*x in her classroom; SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT!
This happened at an elementary school and the teacher was a caucassoid. We have freaks teaching our children and something needs to be done…HOME TRAINING IS THE CURE!

“huhh”
no
(“dumb derrick”)
wrong again!
we need s*x education in school (preferably all black male schools) to teach young men about aids prevention, condom use,avoiding bad women,recognize good ones, how talk to,treat,and marry a women- how to face the responsibility of raising a family with young children; instead of young men being alone, unaware and learning about s*x from young men who don’t know, experimenting with hoes, and rap songs!
solutions solve problems /not hate
