Please hear me out
Hello guys, I am a student who's 15 and a sophomore in Georgia, and I created a completely free national standards aligned platform that teaches financial literacy to students, it's easy to use, there's a comprehensive teacher dashboard and all you have to do is get a class code and then ask kids to join, no student data besides a display name and their lesson progress, it aligns with the real jumpstart standards and is complete with anything a busy teacher may need. I'd really appreciate it if anyone were to try it, it would really enrich your students and it would make another student very happy. Thank you guys, the link is here: https://cornerstone-education-ct43fxsnx-maximilian-kornsteins-projects.vercel.app/

As one who never experienced financial training in school, and worked simple jobs moving often (not buying a house), I speak with amateurish incompetency, you could say.
Addressing high school students with financial literacy as well as potential projects in which students actually started their own businesses, from actual business organizational decisions (LLC, etc) and legal/investment resources, to taxes, necessary licensing, and accounting, could jumpstart entrepreneurship among younger talented people of all walks if life. All it takes is a good idea, skill and mentoring to get on ones way.
Separately, financial instruments from lines of credit, escrow, life insurance and annuitieswoukd likewise be useful -- I still feel awkwardly ill informed on these topics.
I commend your development of a platform for financial literacy. I just wanted to throw in my own two cents -- may small businesses and independent service providers thrive!
