The mayor of Boston announced Monday that every kindergartener in the city’s public school system will receive a savings account, complete with a starting $50 balance this fall at beginning of the school year.
Mayor Marty Walsh said Boston Saves, a pilot program which has benefited about a dozen schools since 2016, is slated to reach all Boston public schools by Fall 2019. The city will then take steps to expand the program to charter schools. The initiative aims to increase college and career access by supporting low income families in saving and planning for their children’s future.
“Every child deserves to hear the message ‘We believe in you and you can do anything’ from the first minute they walk through our school doors,” Boston Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius said in an online video message. “I encourage every family whose child is entering kindergarten this year to participate so they can take advantage of all of the wonderful benefits of the program.”

WORD PROBLEM
Children, class, answer this about the value of money.
The foreign private Federal Reserve steals 3% of your money each year.
We give you a free $50 savings account. But we stole that money from somebody else and unjustly give it to you.
Question:
How much money did the forgotten man lose from taxes??
How much did the stakeholders unjustly receive??
[ Hint: Using Google is not fair because they are often so wrong. ]
Even white kids of Republican parents?
I believe to open a bank account for a minor you need their social security number, plus a parent. At least that’s the way it was for us way back when. So do the illegal immigrant kids with no social security numbers get bank accounts too?
