You don't think it is just a partial answer? Take you "detailed plan" to a
teacher and ask if his/her principal would accept it as a lesson plan for
"teaching kids to save money." I know mine wouldn't, because you have *no*
behavioral objectives. You have the children actually doing *nothing* but
handing money to the teacher. Would you like to hear how I would teach the
concept of saving to my kindergarten class?
