:: I doubt you've taught 145 teenagers, as I have. Teaching the meaning of [[opportunity cost]] is effective.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:39, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

:::I've taught roughly a thousand. I agree that cost-of-opportunity is a useful concept to teach them, but I have also found that teaching the points I posted is quite effective. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 19:34, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
:::Most teens I've met (and I'll concede that I haven't yet taught 145), don't ''care'' about opportunity cost, (the same reason you objected to 6-7). That said, I agree that opportunity cost is a great life lesson, but also that some things are more important than money, (spending time with family even though you can be earning $$$).
