Class Policies 📚

Classes are taught as a combination lecture and discussion, encouraging student participation. 🗣️

This class teaches financial skills that are broadly applicable in various regions of the globe, where individuals have access to retail and commercial banking services and market or mixed economies. While an attempt will be made to explain ideas so all students can understand, hyper local examples and command based systems fall outside these financial skills. The course has an implicit bias that wealth accumulation is societally acceptable and for those enrolled an objective as it pertains to their personal finances.

Specifically, this class recognizes the ability to lend money at interest as a core concept within the financial world. It represents the importance of individuals being able to accumulate private property to pursue financial independence. 

Late arrivals will be admitted at the discretion of Mr. Scott. ⏰

Any financial investment involves risks and an investor could lose some or all of their investment. The ideas discussed in this course are "ideas" and "opportunities", not recommendations. Every individuals' risk presonal risk threshold is different and families should use their own judgement before making any investment.
