Even 5th and 6th grade students participated in 'Tax Day'
Carson Montessori School, a free, public charter school, offered hands-on, real-world financial lessons with students Tuesday. The students studied Tax Day and learned first hand what happens when they are an Independent Contractor who didn’t pay any estimated tax.
As part of the classroom economy system including jobs and student salaries program, the students realized they had not paid any taxes as a 1099 employee.
