Personal finance urged for Oregon schools - Breaking News From Oregon & Portland - Oregonlive.com

"'I firmly believe the lack of personal finance education early on in life has largely contributed to the current financial crisis our country is facing,' says Melody Thompson, executive director of Financial Beginnings, a Portland-based nonprofit that provides free personal finance classes to middle schools and high schools.

'During the last century, consumers have been pushed more and more toward controlling their personal finances but have not been given the knowledge to be successful.'"

Hurray, Oregon!
