Teachers can use this resource to debate as a class or have the students reflect and answer on their own. It works well to divide the class into four groups and assign the students a topic (for or against). They may not agree with the topic they have been given, but that's the importance of debate- to allow a person to see both sides and why someone would support an argument different than your own.

The survey found that positive money behaviors and expectations among kids are often associated with parents' decision to let their kids decide how to save and spend their money on their own. as well as modeling good financial habits. Conversely, troubling financial habits among kids were more frequently seen when parents have a troubling history with money.
