I push in to an 8th grade class as an RTI Math Intervention Specialist and was asked the question, “What is your opinion on credit cards?”. While I learned several teacher responses were “no, don’t”, I actually answered the pros and cons. Pro – Credit Scoring, Building Credit, etc. and Cons – Do not open one when you do not have a job that can pay for it, Interest rates are high, etc. These ideas had not been presented as reasons why one would use.

Plus, many students learned that day that using their mom’s or dad’s card may or may not be a debit or credit card. They have memorized numbers, used the cards, and had no idea what they were costing their parents. This was a great lesson to core teacher reviewed with students.
