Blind teaching the Blind

I noticed this story today while reading over the shoulder of someone on the Tube – and then had to search it out online.

So – how many things can you spot that are wrong with this concept?  The headline : “Primary schools bring in bankers to teach the credit crunch children

Oh yes indeed – get children taught how to be fiscally responsible by the fucksticks responsible for the current situation. Awesome plan.

Although in fairness, I do think it’s a good idea to teach children far more about money, how to calculate interest, understanding APRs, and basic fiscal stuff. I know that I wish I’d had something like that in my education, anyway…
