Students should know how important it is to be SMART with their money. As young adults it’s time that we learn how to make better decisions with our money, and that’s why every student should take personal finance. Personal finance can prepare students to make healthy lifestyle decisions. Mrs. Gerritz is the only teacher at East who teaches personal finance. She states, “It showed up on my schedule, but now that I have taught it for a few years, it’s my favorite class.” Mrs. Gerritz strongly believes every students should take this class. “I feel every scholar should take personal finance so they can learn the basics of how to handle that first paycheck and have enough money for the future.” She also states, “I would love to see personal finance become a required class like many other districts.” Personal finance is one of the few classes that actually prepare you for the real world. “I love teaching scholars about budgets and see the surprise on their faces when they don’t have enough money to cover their monthly expenses and have to cut back on things like clothes. It’s shows them how real life the topic is,” said Mrs. Gerritz Knowing how to properly use your money has to be one of the most important life skills ever. So if you would like to know more about that class or about the topic, go to your counselor and put personal finance on your schedule. Mrs. Gerritz would love to see you there.
