@WSJ if you really want to reward your kids, put that money in a separate bank account (not#collegefund) for when they graduate#highschool -
@TDPKNews@WSJ then it becomes like a#retirementfund (not really, but you get the point)

@WSJ b/c why teach them monetary compensation is tied to performance? That's not fair. Besides that will be an old idea when they r working. -
@wishboneflynt@WSJ Not if I were Sec of EDU. We are a capitalist country that gives the next gen no experience in investing. Absurd!
