Is learning students how I can write checks that become archaic? This is what teachers have to say for personal finances.
Recently this topic came on our Facebook community, Finlit FanaticsWhere more than 10,000 teachers share advice and resources for financial education.
The general consensus? Most still learn it, but don’t spend much time on it.
Here are a few fragments of the discussion in favor of education checks:
Some people go back to checks due to map costs.
The students must know which account and routing numbers are to set up Venmo and other apps for sharing cash. Checks are a perfect way to learn that.
I still learn it because of writing a check to a small company, landlord or something similar. I also say that if they start their own small company, they have to write some checks, at least in the initial phase.
I just got married last summer and every seller had a check required versus cash or credit card.
My son received his salary and did not know how to cash it in!

A ready-made lesson when checking
If you want to include this in your classroom, the NGPF course contains a full year lesson about classical control that includes skills, including writing a check, how to reconcile a checkbook, checking and rejecting a check and more.
