Financial Literacy lessons

The online financial literacy lessons allows parents and teens the ability to view and talk about everyday activities that involve money matters.

The 2006 annual back-to-school survey from Capital One found that:

Only 18% of parents are discussing back to school budgeting - a decline from the 24% who did so last year.
79% of parents see themselves as positive money role models for their kids, yet only a small percentage are taking advantage of day-to-day learning opportunities to arm their teens with practical money skills.
Only 43% of parents have discussed the importance of needs versus wants, compared to 64% who did so last year; and a surprising 42% of parents have not taken any steps whatsoever to discuss financial basics.
