My Classroom Economy

What if all graduating students knew how to budget, how to save more than they spend, and how to resist impulse buying? What if they truly had the skills to be smart with their money?

And what if they began learning these skills in elementary school?

My Classroom Economy enables any educator to teach children financial responsibility through fun, experiential learning. It's a simple classroom economic system based on the idea that students need to earn school "dollars" so that they can rent their own desks.

To earn a paycheck, they need to take on classroom jobs. They can get bonuses for academic performance, outstanding behavior, or extracurricular activities. But students can also incur fines for dishonesty, disrespect, or breaking other classroom rules. And for those who can save more than their rent, the system has rewards.
