Summary
Today, we continue our education series with a discussion of my ideas and vision for primary and secondary school education.
One large problem in the world of financial planning is that often parents wait too long to consider college planning. I propose that we instead consider college planning at birth and build flexible, comprehensive plans.
This show is purely about some of my ideas for my son's education. I hope you'll consider them and create your own list.
Enjoy!
Joshua
