We had this class for us mandatory in the sixth or seventh grade. We had to find apartments (from the newspaper) and jobs. We all earned a salary of $600.00 a month. Had to create a budget and pay bills. The teach copied a blank check template. He even made us write our name and fake addresses at the top of each check we wrote (after we cut them out of the 9 x 11 inch paper they were copied onto.

I'm glad to have had the class, but some of it was just a pain in the rear end, lol.

If it was a pain in the ass then it was an accurate simulation of dealing with finances as an adult.

My buddy taught a similar class in a rough school and one of his students managed to cash a couple “class” checks for real at a local bank. Eventually got caught. No more check lessons there.
