Economics----
Learning economics and personal finance, more than any other school subject, prepares students for life by providing the skills and knowledge to understand how the world works. The students will learn everything they need to help understand what is being said in the news, politics, what money is, how business works, types of governments, what is being done and the purpose of their jobs, and most importantly, understanding economics brings personal confidence and ability to a complicated world.
I am excited to take this complicated imperfect science and bring it to the student in a way that intrigues them and opens up the true possibilities that the future holds for them.
