   A  41  around came one day when I remembered the  42  of the word “Cognoscenti”; a word all the other “  43 students ” had forgotten how to spell  44  they spent their free time making fun of me. I wasn’t asked to spell,  45  I raised up my hand. So I stood up and went to the front of class,  46  23 pairs of eyes staring at me. My teacher grabbed her stick, ready to hit me if I’d  47_ . I wrote the letters, spelt the word and became an instant champion. Afterwards, I  48  and won, for my school, five Spelling Bee championships.

   Secondary school had its own share of challenges. I was a tall kid and wasn’t good at any  49 , except looking. I loved basketball and tennis.  50  I held a bat(球拍), I was laughed at by my opponent. He  51  six straight sets(盤，局) without sweat and there I was, sweating like I’d run a marathon, whereas I hadn’t even  52  a single point. My dad’s  53  kept playing in my ears “Stanley, you’re a champion if you believe it.”

Believe it I did, because I wasn’t only good at tennis and basketball, I was an all-round athlete and  54  won both athletic and  55  scholarships to university.

Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’．An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.

At school the children are taught to add up and subtract（減法） but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England．Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say．And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed．Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.

As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long．Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends．By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft（透支） as a way of extending their spending power．Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”

The UK has been in the worst financial recession（衰退）for generations．It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university．In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents．
