Actually, that isn't what I asked for. Here is what I said: *How,
specifically, do you
intend to teach children to save money if you ever find yourself actually
teaching in a classroom?*
That would include more than the idea of starting savings accounts. How
would you instill the idea of saving money, rather than just 'give the
teacher a coin every week.' I'm really not making fun of you, Kenneth. I'm
serious. Teaching a concept is far more than doing one activity and saying
"I'm done." You have not elaborated at all on your introductory activities,
ongoing activities other than the savings account, or concluding activities.
You have not mentioned a single thing that the *chilcren* will do, except
hand you money. Do you really expect them to learn to save money that way?
