Your vote is needed for a worthy cause: to promote financial literacy among all children! During the past decade, we have witnessed financial crises on a global scale. Many of us are still shouldering their crushing burdens of joblessness, income reduction, tax increases, home foreclosures, and personal bankruptcy. We are all grappling with one question: What can we do toprevent future crises?

CANADIAN TEACHER SUSPENDED FOR GIVING ZEROS (TEACHERS)
Lynden Dorval, a physics teacher at Ross Sheppard High School, has been giving the mark for work that wasn't handed in or tests not taken even though it goes against the school's "no-zero" policy.
The "no-zero" policy has given rise to a lot of debate among teachers and parents.
