I try to do things with my fifteen year old nephew but, he's not my son so I have no authority there. I'm pushing my kid to go into politics or business and I"m fast tracking him early.
1. In elem/middle school, he's going to be reading one book a month. In high school, he's going to be reading one book a week.
2. In 7th grade, I'll teach him about money management and personal finance. In 8th grade, I'll teach him about general business. 9th grade, economics/politics. 10th grade, basic accounting. 11th grade, investing. 12th grade, finance.
3. I want him to understand basic programming too. I'll show him how to code html/mobile/whatever scripting language just give him general knowledge.
4. History. No way I'm depending on the school system to tell him about his heritage.
If I knew what I knew now at 27 back at 17, I'd be ten, twenty steps ahead. My son gonna get all this game for free but, I'll let him choose his own path.
