My students love the addition of frequent and structured debates in the classroom.
In my 6th grade Social Studies class, we were discussing the merits of good citizenship, and students were offering suggestions such as being caring, avoiding negative behaviors like littering, and even picking up the slack when others make a mess.
One boy suggested paying taxes as a mark of Good citizenship, and a girl had a knee-jerk and emphatic "Taxation is theft."
A day prior, the same student argued against price controls in a debate on 'Should Governments set price ceilings on Goods or services" suggesting that If she could sell her lemonade for $5, then no one has any business limiting her selling it for $2, and likened lemonade to gas.
It all made sense when she later asked if I'd ever read The Tuttle Twins . No, I have not, but my experience in class last week is a better advertisement than any paid promotion I've ever seen online.
Kids can care about economics. Give them books.
I'm very thankful my daughter's Teacher uses your series in her "classroom" 🙌 Thank you!
Wonderful book series that teaches children the importance of freedom and liberty, told in a way that kids can understand. There is absolutely nothing objectionable with this series, unless of course you believe that freedom and liberty is a bad thing. Highly recommended!
I got these for my 9-year-old daughter thinking she might not like them (she’s a reluctant reader) but hoping she would learn something anyway. To my surprise, she loves them! She’s read all of them multiple times without me asking her to.
Bought my nephews a full set of Tuttle Twins books! Never to early to start educating about liberty! @tuttletwins & @cboyack!
Homeschool kids are weird, right?
Growing up, that's what I always thought. Go figure that now my own kids are all home schooled.
This morning, I found my oldest daughter, Lexi, sitting in the reading nook.
I asked her what's she's reading, and she shows me this book called "The Tuttle Twins and the Messed Up Market."
That piqued my interest, so I browsed through a few of the other Tuttle Twins books my wife had ordered.
I was blown away! These books are talking about markets, supply and demand, investments, equity, etc.
And that's when it hit me again, our kids are smart. They can grasp so much more than what we think they can.
I LOVE the idea that my daughter at the age of six is figuring out how money works. I'm 35 and it won't surprise me if soon, she's teaching me.
I'm grateful that Lexi helps me see that it's never too early to start down whichever path you want to go down.
And for my sake, I'm grateful it's never too late to start down the path either...
Our kids loved these books and now have a better understanding of these topics than their peers who can only regurgitate what they were taught in school. These books are outstanding.
I know there are some good schools and good teachers out there but this Tuttle Twins book makes some excellent points about some of the problems with public standardized education
Tuttle Twins is a breath of fresh air amidst a one sided educational system that trains kids to be good employees rather than good citizens. Each book covers a topic that many American adults are unaware, such as the role central banks, protectionism, and crony capitalism plays in our society. Perhaps most importantly, the stories teach kids (and parents) to think critically for themselves and be inquisitive about how the world around them actually functions.
My 10 and 12 year old boys love The Tuttle Twins books. My 10 yr old read The Road to Surfdom last night and discussed the folly of central planning with me.
Yes, based off Hayek.
Arm your kids against collectivism.
Want to teach kids about #Economics, #FreeMarket, and #Liberty? The @tuttletwins book series by @cboyac will help them understand how the world works. bit.ly/2PtEYen
My 7-year old tried to teach his fellow first graders about the Federal Reserve & inflation yesterday. Two of his friends did not believe that a creature could cause prices to go up, but one of his friends believed him
So, we have converted at least one young mind!
