Its  an honor to all students, its a new learning with a great benefits and can give us a good future.  Learning more about crypto can help us to be a good trader in the future and will help as well to spread the good benefits of bitcoin in our present time.

Cryptocurrency to be included on the high school curriculum would be a great idea so that high school students may able to start learning about cryptcurrencies. The younger they learn, the better for them so that by the time they will be interested, it would be easy for them to adjust and apply what they had learned in school. For me, knowledge is power and very important especially to the students who would wanted to pursue his career in the cryptocurrency market.

Union Catholic Regional High School in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, proudly displays the following motto on its main building: "Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow."

And that motto isn't taken lightly.

Sister Percylee Hart has been stewarding the school into the future ever since she became principal 38 years ago. In 1980, she merged Union Catholic's separate boys and girls schools, turning the high school co-educational.

Now, in 2018, Union Catholic is teaching its juniors and seniors about cryptocurrencies.

Yes you are right I think the technology and use of the bitcoin can be used for education in some schools, I think of the bitcoin technology blockchain technology can give you knowledge of the topology used.

Timothy Breza, a 28-year-old history and financial literacy teacher, first broached adding cryptography to his Business and Personal Finance class at the start of this school year. A few students had approached him in September and October, asking what he knew about bitcoin and other digital coins.

"If one student's talking about it, many of them are talking about it," Breza said. "So I figured we needed to include it."

The class, an elective available to juniors and seniors, covers topics like earning money, budgeting, credit cards, taxes, investing, entrepreneurship and how to create a business plan.

With the approval of the administration, Breza has now added a section on cryptocurrencies, focusing on the history of cryptography and the applications of blockchain technology.

But while cryptography may be new to high schools, it's already a popular topic at colleges across the country.

Wow, I think they have a good choice on teaching cryptocurrencies to their students, because as of now we need to teach the students about what is new today than teaching what is happen before so that they can prefer for future and they can be aware on what is happening today. Another thing is that cryptocurrency may help the students to have a sideline and get a profit from it while studying.

Believing that the youth is the hope of the future, I am in favor with what the management implement in their institution.  I think this school will produce a technologically equipped individuals.  I salute to Sister Perycylee Hart for preparing their students for tomorrow.  But I think the introduction of bitcoin in high school has pros and cons.  And I think one of those are the following:

In its positive side, those students who early exposed in the concept of cryptocurrencies will become more curious on the possible role cryptocurrency might play in the future and we do not know how far their curiosity reach.  Maybe some of the product of this school will be one of the developers of more advanced cryptocurrency in the future.  On the other hand, early exposure to this kind of industry might corrupt the young minds of teens not to finish their studies because if they do not finish their studies, through crypto, they still have the chance to earn bucks of money.  

So, I guess, the school must properly guide their students if they want to incorporate the cryptocurrency in their school.

I think that should not be so, because kids should not be educated about digital money soon, because it's not the best time to educate kids what the ministry is up to.

[qiman]

This should be a way of life soon for the young adults and children. I think once we have easy wallets to use like ETHOS etc, we will be giving our children gifts in digital currencies and building their futures. My Wife already has like a few ETH wallets with some tokens for all her nephews, nieces and her son and she is trying to build them a small portfolio that she says if they moon, she can give them as wedding gifts and the such like, when they really might need a dose of funds. Due to the fact that we are oldies, we need a pension fund. Here in Nocosia, we have the very first university in the world that accepted Bitcoin and has a cryptocurrency course as well. Starting though from high school is even better though!

if the state or government accepts and formalizes the cryptocurrency as a legitimate currency of course it is possible that it may happen to teach the subject of cryptocurrencies at the level of education who already understand and understand about the economy of course

[ufalo3]

It would be very beneficial to those youngsters to have this cryptocurrency education. In fact, teenagers nowadays don't need much persuasion to know cryptocurrency so it would be very easy for them to take on and they will be very productive in later times as they enter the industry of cryptocurrency instead of using technology in non-profitable manners.

It is really very cool that tutors (teachers) tell students about the cryptocurrency. I suppose that this education is very useful, especially for people, youngsters that will live dealing with blockchain.

[pxo.011]

well it has a lot of benefits to their student, it has  high potential to make a student become a business man or a trader but however they need to focus in their major curiculumn it was good because they can explore abot crypto

[Marcus Kohen]

In General, it is good to teach young people financial literacy. After all, many still do not know the elements of things, not to mention bitcoin. But I think it's too early to teach how to work with bitcoin. Since it is too early to talk about the unconditional authority of bitcoin in the financial sphere. While he has no such authority.

There are so many more important topics schools need to include in their agenda, crypto is very behind on that line I think!

I disagree. I'm almost sure those "important" topics are already included in the school curriculum. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, being very important topic at the moment is ignored by most schools and that's a pity. Students should be getting ready for the new world in which crypto will play an essential role, no doubt about that. Kudos to the high school in New Jersey for being so up to date.

[hashshashin]

Little is believed in this, but if this is in fact true - then this is good, as for some school students it will be interesting and may be useful in the future, when crypto-currencies will be widely used in our daily lives)

It was a big opportunity to all student to get access by cryptocurrency because it was really a big help to them to sustain their educational expenses. But I guess it should be in a responsible way because not all high school students has this mindset that can absorb easily new information and can be able to perform it well.

Wow! That's very good. They are really gonna be good with crypto activities once they learn that in school. And also, cryptocurrency will rule the future and so teaching kids about it means we're already introducing and preparing them towards the future

[Gudhal Untu]

The future of the transaction system will use blockchain so it is a good thing to teach bitcoin at school, with officially taught then the younger generation will be ready to welcome the change.
