high school economics and personal finance

Post by fourspahrs » Tue May 05, 2015 3:47 pm

I will have a 9th grade student using MTMM with extensions next year. She needs .5 credit in economics, .5 credit in personal finance, and .5 credit in government. I see that the government credit will be covered in the new American History guide for high school students but I don't see anything for economics or personal finance. What would I need to add to MTMM to earn .5 credit in economics? Is adding only the Bluestocking Guide to Penny Candy going to be enough for that credit or do I need to add something else? And what would you suggest for the personal finance credit? Will that be covered in one of the other high school guides? Thanks for your ideas and input!

I know that Economics will be covered in the last high school guide. I'm not sure if Carrie is going to cover half credit in personal finance then also or not. I think you are going to have to add more than just the bluestocking guide, but I'm not sure what else you could add.

For Personal Finance, the Dave Ramsey program is a great option.
