Will financial literacy classes in high school be a solution we are looking for? #podcast #education

From The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators, former educator and Colorado State Representative Jen Bacon passionately calls for a mandatory financial literacy class in all #colorado high schools. As education leaders talk about post-secondary and workforce readiness, Bacon asks a critical question: How can we prepare students for the future if we don’t teach them how to manage money, buy homes, and survive real-world challenges?

📌 Bacon shares why this is a generational equity issue, how financial literacy connects to racial justice and student survival, and what she’s willing to do to make it happen—including helping fund teacher professional development.

This clip is a must-watch for educators, policy advocates, and anyone invested in high school curriculum reform, Black student success, and economic empowerment for youth.
