So in the few days that I was actually in school, we played a game that was focused around stock markets and stock exchange. Personally, I thought it was an excellent chance for us to experience the many risks and options the stock market provides. It's slightly confusing to play, as if a company is in the news, it doesn't necessarily mean that that's a good thing. Also, the whole idea that to buy cheap and sell high is confusing to me. Yet, I still think it's a good idea that the class plays this game as it prepares us for choices later in life, and teaches us the basics of the stock exchange market.
I also enjoy playing the game really much! It's fun and we can learn many about stock marketing. It's so hard to choose which company's stock we should buy though. I'm in low rank right now so I hope my stocks will get higher this week :)
ReplyDeleteI too think that it is a good thing that we are learning how to participate and invest in the stock market. I am not very good at it, but hopefully I can learn from it. I would rather be making mistakes in a classroom setting than with real money. If we were using real money, I would be in serious financial debt.
