Note to the teacher:
As consumers, your students must be able to negotiate
the often confusing and rigid rules for credit and bill
paying. This case scenario presents a conflict that, together
with your students, can be solved. Teachers often use their
students’ stories or other codes such as pictures or
articles to create class material that poses problems and
that prompts problem solving. Pay attention to the bills
your students complain about or ask your students if they
have ever received an unexpected bill; these too are methods
for creating meaningful prompts for your students to safely
discuss credit and debt issues.
