An article in The New York Times about a summer camp that aims to teach children money skills quotes Lewis Mandell, professor of finance and dean emeritus of the School of Management. He suggested, jokingly, that these camps should put on a theatrical show called "Foreclosure: The Musical" if they really want to teach children about money. "It would show them just how wrong decisions you make that seemed like great ideas worked out really badly."
