Parents Learn About Debt. At Kindergarten...

Some parents in the US it seems...
I can't believe this!
Some parents in the US are taking out loans averaging $14,000 and paying interest rates of up to 20% in order to pay for their children's kindergarten education.

  4. Well duh... they don't teach us how to handle money and debt at school in the US.

    I wonder what those kids are getting for their parents' $14k? Gourmet cookies with their milk before nap time?
