Sex education, personal finance and business

I remember that, not very long ago, many conservatives back in Thailand argued against teaching sex education to kids for fear of prematurely invoking their sexual desire. The problem is these kids then growing up learning whatever they think is right by themselves...and yes, you can imagine how likely they are to be wrong and what the consequences would be.

Interestingly, I notice similar trend regarding personal finance. It is the same problem of not teaching kids how realistic adult world will be like when they grow up and how they should properly deal with it.
 
How many of you remember being taught, as a kid, that we you grow up you will need money and you would be better mastering the art of making money? ...probably not many.

But how many of you remember being taught that money is the source of greed..evilness...that working for money is not right way to do.. that one should be better devote his career for the public good..not personal greed..follow what're noble..follow your passion..not the money?...probably most of you.

These kids will grow up..developing their desire for money..(yeah, and developing their desire for sex).
..then they don't really know what to do with that...
..all they remember being taught as kids is "this is evil...suppress it!"
Ok, good luck with that.

I think the right way to do is to let kids know..at young age.. that they will grow up need more and more money...and there is nothing wrong with that (as long as they don't cheat, of course).  Then these kids should also be challenged, at young age, to figure out ways to make money. .something many of us don't really think of till we are about to finish school and get out to the the real world. Making money shouldn't be perceived as something noble, not evil..why? because, it means that one has successfully created goods or services that are valuable enough that other are willing to pay for. ..and once your personal finance is secured, you're free to do whatever you want.

Instead of preaching kids to follow their dreams, make other happy and forget about money..
..Let's teach them practically lesson to turn their dreams..whatever dreams..to something other will be HAPPY to pay for.
