At a bright new building in Landover, Maryland, students are getting a crash course, in which they are learning how to spend,save and look after their money responsibly.
Tuesday marked the grand opening of the newest Junior Achievement Finance Park, where eighth-graders from Prince George’s County schools will use tablet computers to practice personal finance skills they have learned in class. An international study last year clearly showed that more than 1 in 6 U. S. teens is unable to make simple choices about how to spend their money.
The center, a mini city of stores, was created by Prince George’s County schools, Capital One Bank and Junior Achievement of Greater Washington. In fact the first Washington-area Finance Park opened in Fairfax County, Virginia, five years ago. Altogether there are 17 finance parks nationwide, and one is planned to open in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Before coming to a finance park, students have lessons on how to save and invest, how to read a bank statement and how to make sense of debit (借记)and credit cards. They put their skills to the test when they walk inside. Students are given a career, salary, debt and family situation, and then they are required to have to put together a monthly budget (预算).
Budgeting can be tricky. Students need to figure out how much to spend on groceries, rent, transportation and even entertainment. They shop with virtual (虚拟的)money,making a change in their budgets according to different situations they may go into.
When asked about the practice,LaChelle King,a teacher at Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie, said the center was exciting and surprising for her students. One of the kids said, " Now I know why my mom gets mad at me when I ask her to buy me things!"
