![]() Should Taxation & Budgeting Be Taught in High School?A Story by Dulce![]() An advise on Taxation & Budgeting![]() Unless
you are very young, chances are the taxing system has changed quite a bit since
you were in school. The same will happen to the next generation. The system they
will use will be very different than what we have today " probably some sort of
automated online thing, where you need to click a few buttons to get it done.
It makes little sense to teach something that will be obsolete in a few years.
It’s better to give general knowledge, so that people are smarter and can
handle any system, rather than teaching a very specific skill that will become
useless. It is even worse about finance, because people have very
different ideas about what is “good” and what is “bad” and there are no simple
rules one can follow. The same financial advice (like “take a loan if
possible”) can have very positive or very negative results, or anywhere in
between. It really depends on the situation and there is no simple rule you can
follow. When I started doing my own taxes as a teenager, I would go to the post office to get the form and sit down with a calculator and a pen and work out all the Math. Now, I upload a program, have it automatically upload my basic information from a file in my computer and enter some numbers. The program does all the computations and what not. Had I spent a few weeks in math class learning how to do my taxes in high
school, it would have been wasted time. However, I had learned enough problem
solving and math at school that I was able to figure out how to do my taxes on
my own. At the time, most of us did not foresee that computers would take off
like they did and take over so many of our tasks. We don’t know how taxes will be done in the future so why teach kid
how to do them in school. It is best to teach them how to problem solve, write
properly and communicate effective, solve math problems, research information,
and to think critically. These are the skills that will allow them to solve
problems and adjust to changing technologies. Taxation particulars may change year to year. Educating people
on taxation would be a way, so that they can understand how those year to year
changes could affect them. Certain particulars and rates, or occasional special credits or
deductions might show up or change, but for all intents and purposes, the forms
are essentially the same year over year. IAM Group Limited Singapore’s basic guide to middle management
members provides all the financing, budgeting and taxation systems one would
use for and in their firm. Notable contributing members from Yokohama, Japan,
Bangkok, Thailand, Malaysia and many more are always there to help out fellow
managerial members. © 2014 Dulce |
