Shaw Nee Soresen from the Sebastian county at the U of A Division of Agriculture recently visited the 8th Grade Career Development class, with some sound advice.
Ms Soresen came and taught a week long lesson about writing checks and balancing checkbooks to the class.
The students were assigned jobs and family’s and they had to learn how to to pay all their bills like you would in a real family household. Many of the students were surprised by how much everything cost like insurance, childcare, and utility cost.
