ow　many　puters　they　put　in　the　classroom　or　how　much　money　schools　spend。　How　can　the　education　system　teach　a　subject　that　it　does　not　know？〃

So　how　does　a　parent　teach　their　children；　what　the　school　does　not？　How　do　you　teach　accounting　to　a　child？　Won't　they　get　bored？　And　how　do　you　teach　investing　when　as　a　parent　you　yourself　are　risk　averse？　Instead　of　teaching　my　children　to　simply　play　it　safe；　I　decided　it　was　best　to　teach　them　to　play　it　smart。

〃So　how　would　you　teach　a　child　about　money　and　all　the　things　we've　talked　about？〃　I　asked　Robert。　〃How　can　we　make　it　easy　for　parents　especially　when　they　don't　understand　it　themselves？〃

I　asked　him　how　much　financial　information　he　thought　a　child　needed。　He　said　it　would　depend　on　the　child。　He　knew　at　a　young　age　that　he　wanted　to　be　rich　and　was　fortunate　enough　to　have　a　father　figure　who　was　rich　and　willing　to　guide　him。　Education　is　the　foundation　of　success；　Robert　said。　Just　as　scholastic　skills　are　vitally　important；　so　are　financial　skills　and　munication　skills。

What　follows　is　the　story　of　Robert's　two　dads；　a　rich　one　and　a　poor
