I get these students with no economics background at all, and by the end of the semester, I see a big change in their abilities. They soak everything up, and understand how business works, how the government works, and how economics [in general] works. |
I have taught economics in that program to similar students for the past five years, and [at the center] I teach high school teachers how to teach economics to high school students. Many are from minority, immigrant backgrounds, and it's very useful to have this skill. |
This is why my center trains teachers. I believe all students should take at least one course of economics in their lives, and that all high schools should have an economics program. |
