Should children be given pocket money when they are in the school, I think they should not be given we have to teach them the value of money otherwise they won't know how to make proper use of money, What are your views about this

I guess I would say that it depends on the whole situation. If the child is responsible enough, then yeah. My daughter got money sent to school with her once and she lost it. Luckily, someone saw her lose it and turned the money into the office. I do agree that limits should be set.

They should be given money but a certain amount that you decide is right. They should be given an allowance based on how they perform in school and things they do around the house. When you give them money they will have to learn how to budget it to get throught the time between the next allowance.
